Sharing @GeorgetownLaw Prof @sherrileekeene’s article. Perfect timing as it provides a framework for effectively using Dissents to analyze + critique + challenge the attack on our rights & democracy by this Court. Well done! https://t.co/fiAWGHyyim

@profallentweets CLEAR is definitely worth it at O’Hare. Also, if you like precheck and like to travel internationally, might as well get global entry cause it’s only $22 more than precheck by itself.

The Project is definitely a team effort. It would not be possible without @uiclaw students, @UICLaw_WriteCtr staff, and colleagues from @UICCUPPA and @UIC_CollegeofEd. Huge shout out and thanks to @AccessLexInst, Joel Chanvisanuruk, and Jennifer A. Gundlach @Hofstra_Law
