»Chapman Dialogue Series

John Dean

The Chapman Dialogue Series is a distinguished lecture program that includes some of the most innovative and thought-provoking scholars in the legal academy and social sciences. Visiting speakers are invited to present their research and ideas to a wide audience of Chapman Law faculty members, students, alumni and special guests. Each Dialogue includes a Q&A session and is typically led by one or two discussants from among the Chapman Law faculty.

All Dialogues are from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in Kennedy Hall, Room 237, unless otherwise noted. Lunch is included. Students and staff may obtain a lunch ticket in advance of the scheduled date at the front desk in the law school first floor lobby. Outside guests may call to reserve a free lunch ticket at 714-628-2500. Tickets will be held on "will-call" at the front desk, to be picked up on the day of the event.
