“Melissa Murray is a trailblazer who is transforming both the legal and public discourse on the structures and systems that shape our intimate lives. Her path-forging work at the intersection of gender, race and law exposes how legal institutions can imperil—as well as bolster—our most cherished rights,” said 东精影业<\/abbr> Mānoa William S. Richardson School of Law<\/a> Dean Camille Nelson<\/strong>, who will moderate Murray\u2019s presentation.<\/p>\n
