The John W. Hager Distinguished Lecture featuring William Eskridge

William N. Eskridge, Jr., the John A. Garver Professor of Jurisprudence at Yale Law School, will present the 15th Annual John W. Hager Distinguished Lecture on Thursday, January 20, 2011, at 5 p.m. at The University of Tulsa College of Law.

His presentation, “Discrimination to Protect Liberty: New Arguments Against Equality for Women and Gay People,” will be in the Price & Turpen Courtroom in John Rogers Hall. The lecture and the reception afterward are free and open to the public.

From 1990-1995, Eskridge represented a gay couple suing for recognition of their same-sex marriage. Since then, he has published a field-establishing casebook, three monographs, and dozens of law review articles articulating a legal and political framework for proper state treatment of sexual and gender minorities.

The historical materials in the book, Gaylaw: Challenging the Apartheid of the Closet, formed the basis for an amicus brief he drafted for the Cato Institute and for much of the Court’s (and the dissenting opinion’s) analysis in Lawrence v. Texas (2003), which invalidated consensual sodomy laws. He most recently coauthored Gay Marriage: For Better or Worse?

Eskridge’s areas of teaching interest include constitutional law; legislation; sexuality, gender, and the law; and theories of statutory interpretation. Together with the late Philip Frickey, he developed an innovative casebook on legislation. Eskridge received his B.A., summa cum laude, from Davidson College, his master’s degree in history from Harvard University, and his J.D. from Yale Law School.
