Melissa Murray, a professor at New York University School of Law, completed a weeklong residency at the University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at Mānoa William S. Richardson School of Law<\/a> as the Dan and Maggie Inouye Distinguished Chair in Democratic Ideals March 20–24, 2023. She is a leading expert in constitutional law, family law, and reproductive rights and justice.<\/p>\n

Murray\u2019s weeklong residency featured a presentation on her co-authored article, Dobbs and Democracy, visits to classes at the 糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> law school and 糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> Mānoa\u2019s American Studies department, a talk with students at an event co-sponsored by the American Constitution Society, and a lunch with faculty and students of Ka Huli Ao Center for Excellence in Native Hawaiian Law<\/a>, where Murray offered advice about pursuing social justice in a legal environment dominated by a conservative Supreme Court supermajority.<\/p>\n

At the culmination of the week, Murray and her co-hosts Professors Leah Litman (Michigan Law School) and Kate Shaw (Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law) recorded an episode<\/a> of the award-winning “Strict Scrutiny<\/a>” podcast before a live audience at 糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> Mānoa. The episode, available online<\/a> and on major streaming platforms, included a segment with special guest U.S. Sen. Mazie Hirono. It also featured the Hawaiʻi<\/span> Supreme Court\u2019s recent application of “the right to a life-sustaining climate system” in the Hu Honua case, and highlighted the 糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> law school\u2019s Ka Huli Ao Center\u2019s “pathbreaking work at the intersection of Native Hawaiian rights and environmental law.”<\/p>\n

Murray began her residence virtually in October 2022 with a keynote presentation moderated by 糖心Vlog官方<\/abbr> law school Dean Camille Nelson<\/strong> titled “Unpacking the Court: What Does a Conservative Super-majority Mean for the Court and America?”<\/p>\n
