The Judge Frank M. Johnson, Jr. Institute (FMJI) is premiering a virtual panel discussion, What is Due Process?, in honor of Law Day 2021 and its theme, “Advancing the Rule of Law Now.” (https://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_education/law-day/)
The panel discussion, geared to high school students, features a clear and concise discussion of the Constitutional right of due process, guaranteed by the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments of the United States Constitution.
As students learn about the importance of the Constitution and the right of due process, this panel discussion provides an opportunity to learn from experts in law and education. We hope teachers and students will watch it this week while recognizing Law Day and for years to come.
Panelists include:
Dr. Elizabeth Bowles, Law Magnet Instructor at the Center for Law, Booker T. Washington Magnet High School here in Montgomery, Alabama.
Mr. Lane Heard, Senior Counsel at the law firm of Williams and Connolly in Washington, DC.
Mrs. Elizabeth Huntley, Senior Counsel and Director of Community Relations and Engagement at Lightfoot, Franklin and White in Birmingham, AL.
Thomas Rains, Executive Director of FMJI (Moderator)
