Symposium: Truth, Law and Public Discourse, Pittsburgh, PA

Duquesne University School of Law

Duquesne University School of Law will host a symposium entitled “Truth, Law and Public Discourse” on November 16–17, 2017. From the announcement:

From fake news to alternative facts, the American people have lost faith that institutions and leaders tell the truth and have even lost faith in what truth is. Inconsistent narratives circulate among opposing groups that have little to do with each other, leading to mutual incomprehension, condescension and, sometimes, hatred. This Symposium will consider the idea of truth, within law and without, and the depth of the current crisis of truth in American public life.  The speakers will consider how realism can be reintroduced into law practice, law school teaching and political debate.
