The April meeting of the Roundtable is at noon, Thursday April 16th. No RSVP is necessary. Several days before the meeting you will receive an email invitation with instructions for joining the online presentation. For those that want to test the connection before the meeting, we’ll have a casual session several days early so you can see Zoom.com work from your device.
We’re pleased to have as speaker Polly Price, the Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Law and Global Health at Emory. She will lecture on the current unpleasantness and the legal aspects of COVID-19. We plan on a presentation of about 25 minutes, followed by Q&A. We will adjourn before 1:00 pm.
In 2017, Prof. Price was named an Andrew Carnegie Fellow and used the fellowship to research her forthcoming book, Plagues in the Nation, about the ways epidemics have shaped US law. In 2019, she won the Hughes-Gossett Award from the US Supreme Court Historical Society for the best journal article.
Before joining the Emory Law faculty in 1995, Prof. Price clerked for Judge Richard Arnold of the 8th US Circuit Court of Appeals and then practiced law at King & Spalding in Atlanta and Washington, DC. She has BA and MA degrees from Emory. Her JD is from Harvard.
