Adam Jentleson, former Deputy Chief of Staff to Senator Harry Reid (D-NV), argues in Kill Switch: The Rise of the Modern Senate and the Crippling of American Democracy<span data-offset-key="22:2"> that the filibuster has been employed for decades by a tenacious minority to ensure structural minority rule in the Senate - and by extension, of the nation. By framing the filibuster as a modern tool used to transform the Senate and shape the country, Jentelson makes the case for its reform. Join Floersheimer Center Co-Director Deborah Pearlstein for a timely conversation with Jentleson about his book, the filibuster, and structural reform in our political system. This event is open to the public.

A Discussion with Courtney Hall Wednesday, April 7 at 6:00 p.m.    Cardozo Sports Law Society and FAME are proud to announce a conversation with Courtney Hall about how sports, law, data and business can intersect in the modern world. After playing football at Rice and earning a degree in economics and management studies, Mr. Hall played 8 seasons for the NFL’s San Diego Chargers as an offensive lineman, mainly at center. Following his football career, he earned his JD and MBA from the University of Chicago Law School and Booth School of Business. After earning his JD/MBA, Mr. Hall worked as a lawyer and as an investment banker before he co-founded EXACT Sports Science, a predictive analytics platform that analyzes athlete performance potential using statistical and physiological data.Mr. Hall then went on to co-found Hillcrest Venture Partners, where he is Managing Director. Hillcrest invests in companies that are in the seed to growth stage of development, meaning they have less than $15 million in revenue, especially those that are undergoing transformational changes in their business. Mr. Hall focuses on investments in enterprise applications, financial technology and wireless and has managed investments in the energy sector as well.   We are very excited to have Mr. Hall speak with us as part of our 2021 symposium.
