The William S. Boyd School of Law and UNLV Department of History presents the 2024 19th Annual Pro Lecture in Legal History. The lecture will take place in person with a virtual option available.

Heather Cox Richardson, historian and author of Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America will be joined by Michael Green, Ph.D., professor and chair of the UNLV History Department, for a fireside chat to discuss her book and explains how America, once a beacon of democracy, now teeters in the brink of autocracy–and how we can turn back. During this vital narrative Cox will answer such questions as "What is the current state of our democracy?" "How did we get here?" And "what we can do to take our country back?"

Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America will be available for sale at the UNLV Bookstore the week of the event and before/after the lecture in the Moot Courtroom lobby. Credit cards will be accepted.
