The Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review is pleased to host a virtual symposium on Monday, April 5, from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm EST to discuss the issue of rising offensive speech. This symposium will focus on the different approaches in legislating hate speech in the United States and Europe and their consequences. Panelists will address the possible circumstances whereby offensive speech ought to be prohibited. Should governments control or ban speech that “incites religious and ethnic hatred?” And if private entities like Twitter are not subject to First Amendment regulation, what legal obligations (if any) should rest with social media companies regarding censoring private expression that advocates hate or endorses physical violence?  Please register for our virtual panel here. Join us for a virtual panel with Kate Ruane, senior legislative counsel with the American Civil Liberties Union; Richard Ashby Wilson, Associate Dean of Research at the University of Connecticut School of Law; Nadine Strossen, the John Marshall Harlan II Professor Emerita at New York Law School; Clay Calvert, Professor of Law and Director of the Marion B. Brechner First Amendment Project at the University of Florida; moderated by Deborah Pearlstein, Professor of Law and Co-Director of the Floersheimer Center for Constitutional Democracy at Cardozo Law School. Contact: Victoria Stierli de Abreu, Cardozo International & Comparative Law Symposia Editor, ciclr.symposia.editor@gmail.com

Following a pandemic-shortened 2020 regular season, Major League Baseball faces an uncertain economic future coupled with long-lasting labor issues. There have also been significant changes to the structure of Minor League Baseball, including the disaffiliation of some 40 minor league teams and elimination of certain minor leagues. Joining the Cardozo Sports Law Society to discuss all of these issues, and the future of both MLB and MiLB, are Chuck Greenberg and Jamey Newberg. Mr. Greenberg is a lawyer and businessman who is the chairman and founder of Greenberg Sports Group, which owns the minor league State College Spikes, Frisco RoughRiders and Myrtle Beach Pelicans. He is also a former managing partner and CEO of the Texas Rangers. Mr. Newberg is a lawyer, sportswriter and professor who covers the Texas Rangers for The Athletic and is an adjunct professor in Southern Methodist University's Sports Management MBA program. We are very excited to have Mr. Newberg and Mr. Greenberg speak with us about the current state and future of professional baseball, drawing on their incredible experience in law, journalism, business, academia and team ownership.
