I’m excited to be speaking at the Vermont Law Review symposium on October
17th. I’ll be speaking about “The Threat of Unpopular Ideas,” and domestic “eco-terrorism” and “domestic terrorism” laws like the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act. The event is on October 17th at Vermont Law School in South Royalton, VT.

Thanks very much to the folks at the Vermont Law Review for the invitation, it’s quite an honor to be speaking alongside experts on Constitutional law and the First Amendment. I’ll be posting more information here as it becomes available.
