Ballots and Democracy: A New Scholarly Agenda

February 24, 2023 (All day)

The Seton Hall Legislative Journal Symposium is an all-day event with four panels on the relationship between election law and democracy. The Symposium is intended to bring together law students, law faculty, attorneys, scholars, and judges from around the country to discuss the future of election law and ballot design.

ACLU-NJ Staff Attorney Liza Weisberg will participate in "Society’s Efforts to Educate Voters – Ballots and the Public," a panel exploring the efforts that activists and civil society groups are undertaking to educate New Jersey’s citizens about the impact that the state’s ballot design has on their vote. The discussion will focus on media strategies and other approaches that are being taken to reform New Jersey’s ballots.

All attorneys will receive CLE credit. Structurally, the Symposium will have four panels each approximately 75-80 minutes. Election law experts from across the country will sit on each panel as moderators from Seton Hall Law guide the conversation. Except for parking, admission to the Symposium is free, and there will be a complimentary breakfast, lunch, and cocktail reception following the event.
