Integrity in a Time of Political Polarization: Gerrymandering, Redistricting Commissions and the 2020
Census Citizenship Question  Friday,
October 4, 2019 8:30 am
- 5:00 pm Cleveland-Marshall
College of Law, CSU Moot
Court Room 1801 Euclid Ave, Cleveland 44115 This Conference, designed
to educate members of the both the law school and larger community about core voting issues, will occur at a critical time.
The United States Supreme Court issued decisions in both the gerrymandering and census question cases at the end of the spring
term (June 2019). Thus, scholars and other experts will still be assessing the significance of those two decisions by the
time of the Conference. It is also anticipated that there will be additional legal challenges to various aspects of our voting
procedures and system of representation--from independent redistricting commissions to efforts to halt alleged voter fraud--in
the run-up to the 2020 general election. Given the political polarization to which the title of the Conference refers, the
outcome of the upcoming election will likely have important consequences for years to come. Featured Guest Speakers: Allegra Lawrence-Hardy, Esq.
and Ohio Supreme Court Justice Melody Stewart Free and open to members of the Cleveland State University community and the public. (If you plan
to receive CLE Credits, the fee is $150 for the full day; $80 for a half-day) Attendees are encouraged to preregister. Limited registration will be available at the door. Sponsored by the Cleveland-Marshall College of
Law, in partnership with the Cleveland-Marshall Law Alumni Association and the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio.
 Asserting Your Power This year's summit is focused
on empowering and inspiring attendees with confidence and action. Amy Hanauer with Policy Matters Ohio will moderate a panel
discussion on the "State of Women", which will include a dynamic line-up of business and civic leaders, as well
as community activists, discussing issues that include disparities in wage and employment, gender equality and reproductive
freedom. Kathleen Buse with the Women's Leadership Institute at ERC, will facilitate a negotiation workshop designed to equip
participants with the tools they need to assert their power and to make their voices bold. When women are empowered, families,
businesses and communities are stronger. Registration The event is free to attend for all registered participants. Lunch is provided and free childcare is available onsite for attendees. Date: Saturday, October 5th,
2019 Location: Huntington Convention Center, 300 Lakeside Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44113 Time:
