📚 Join us for an important discussion on birthright citizenship! 🇺🇸

THURSDAY, SEPT. 27 | 11 A.M. | CRSC 200

Who is “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States? This question is at the center of the recently decided Supreme Court case concerning birthright citizenship, Trump v. Barbara.

The Legal Studies Institute faculty will provide an informative presentation examining the Supreme Court’s decision and the 14th Amendment, which states:

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States…”

👩‍⚖️ Presented by:
• Mary Bachkosky, J.D., Professor
• Kymberly Jackson, J.D., Associate Professor
• Lonni Kyhos, J.D., Associate Professor
• Lorna Maloney, Assistant Professor

The Office of Student Services will co-host the annual event and will provide a voter registration table and more!

📍 CRSC 200
🗓️ Thursday, Sept. 27
⏰ 11 a.m.

Come learn more about this significant Supreme Court decision and its implications for birthright citizenship.
