November 4, 2008
On Thursday, Nov. 6, Professor Stephen Smith of the University of Arkansas Department of Communication will debate Professor Teresa Stanton Collett of the University of St. Thomas Law School on the subject of whether the law should recognize same-sex marriage. The debate will begin at 11:40am at the University of Arkansas School of Law building in the E.J. Ball Courtroom (Room 240). Included in the debate will be a discussion of the recent proposal in California to amend the State constitution so as to define marriage as being between only a man and woman.
The debate is free and open to the public. It is scheduled to last an hour. Free pizza and drinks will be provided. The event is sponsored by the Federalist Society, of which Professor Collett is a member.
