Professor James Sample delivered a talk and participated on a panel addressing the topic “Voters and Redistricting” at the 2014 University of Chicago Legal Forum Symposium.

Professor Sample’s presentation focused on his forthcoming paper “Prioritizing the People: Pro-Voter Election Laws,” 2015 Chicago Legal Forum (draft-in-progress) (forthcoming 2015).
