Nadine Strossen, president of the American Civil Liberties Union, will speak at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 14, in the Main Theatre at the University of California, Davis. Strossen's talk, titled "Free Speech on Campus," is part of a series of lectures commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Bill of Rights. Her appearance, which is free and open to the public, is co-sponsored by the UC Davis Institute of Governmental Affairs and the School of Law. When elected president of the ACLU in January 1991, Strossen became the first woman and youngest person to hold the post. Prior to that time, she had served as the organization's national general counsel since 1986. A professor of law at New York Law School since 1989, Strossen has written, lectured and practiced extensively in the areas of constitutional law, civil liberties and international human rights. The National Law Journal recently included Strossen in its special section "Profiles in Power: The 100 Most Influential Lawyers in America." She also is listed in "Who's Who in America." Strossen has delivered lectures and speeches in China, Australia, Japan and New Zealand. She comments frequently on legal issues in the national media, both broadcast and print. She has served on the boards of directors of several human rights organizations, including Asia Watch, Coalition to Free Soviet Jews, The Fund for Free Expression, Human Rights Watch, Middle East Watch, National Coalition Against Censorship and the ACLU's Reproductive Freedom Project. Strossen also is on the board of trustees of the University of Cincinnati College of Law.
