IRVINE, Calif., Feb 09, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) –
UC Irvine School of Law will present a lecture by election law expert
Prof. Rick Hasen on his upcoming book, “The Voting Wars.”
WHEN: Monday, Feb. 13, 4:30 to 5:30 pm.
WHAT: Prof. Hasen, a nationally recognized expert on election
law, will lecture on the subject of his new book, “The Voting Wars: From
Florida 2000 to the Next Election Meltdown,” to be published this summer
by Yale University Press. The book explores why nearly a dozen years
after the controversial 2000 U.S. presidential election, the problems
with how we run our elections are still not fixed. He argues that we are
just one razor-thin presidential election away from chaos and an
undermining of the rule of law.
WHO: Prof. Hasen blogs on his Election Law Blog, which is often
quoted by the national media, and has written more than four dozen
articles on election law. He also co-authored a leading casebook on
election law, and was founding co-editor of the quarterly Election Law
Journal. The lecture celebrates his newly endowed Chancellor’s Chair,
given only to a small number of faculty across the UC Irvine campus.
