Judge Kyle Duncan of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit visited Notre Dame on Friday, March 24, 2023 to deliver a lecture titled “Free Speech and Legal Education in Our Liberal Democracy.” The event is co-sponsored by Notre Dame’s Center for Citizenship and Constitutional Government, the Notre Dame Law School’s Federalist Society Chapter, and the Federalist Society Freedom of Thought Project.

Dive into the heart of legal education, the roles and responsibilities of law schools, and their significant impact on shaping the future of the legal profession. Our conversation covers a range of pressing topics, from the nature of protests within law schools to the critical aspect of free speech in legal education. We also explore the challenging dynamics between personal beliefs and professional duties, specifically looking at judicial recusal and its implications on legal ethics.
