Symposium
Forty Years Since Keyes v. School District No. 1: Equality of Education Opportunity and the Legal Construction of Modern Metropolitan America
February 1, 2013
The Denver University Law Review is excited to announce the topic of its 2013 annual symposium: “Forty Years Since Keyes v. School District No. 1: Equality of Education Opportunity and the Legal Construction of Modern Metropolitan America.” Emanating from Denver, Colorado, Keyes was the first school-desegregation case from “a major city outside of the South” to reach the United States Supreme Court. The symposium will revisit Keyes with key participants from the case and from the court supervision of Denver’s desegregation plan. We will look back at how the city, the metropolitan area, and the state’s public school systems have evolved over the past forty years as well as consider the challenges they face today and in the future. All are welcome, and CLE credit will be available for the various panels, lectures, and workshops. Please mark your calendar and plan to join us on February 1, 2013, at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law.
