On September 27th, the NYU Law chapter of the American Constitution Society sponsored a lecture by Visiting Professor Kenji Yoshino on his book Covering and his current project on moving from a view of group-based equality to universal liberty.

Held in Vanderbilt Hall, room 220, the event included snacks and drinks for those in attendance. In advance of the event, students were emailed copies of two articles written by Professor Yoshino that appeared in the New York Times this past year.

The first is a response to the recent NY Court of Appeals (the highest court in NY) ruling that the state’s legislative ban on same-sex marriage does not violate the state Constitution. The second article appeared in the Sunday Magazine as an adaptation of his book Covering.
