Over the last twenty years, the American public’s trust in systems of government has plateaued at a low level. Political violence is becoming more common, and doubts about the legitimacy of American elections are on the rise. Many fear that the United States is becoming increasingly autocratic.
Faced with these interlocking issues, the third biennial William C. Hubbard Conference on Law and Education gathered a group of scholars and lawyers in a wide range of disciplines and specializations to share their knowledge and discuss the future of democracy in America.
In this issue of Researching Law, read more about the conference, “Restoring Faith in Democratic Institutions.” Presentations focused on the future of the Voting Rights Act, the impact of proposed voter ID laws, the role of misinformation and AI in the decline of democracies, and more. William C. Hubbard, for whom the conference is named, gave a keynote address on the work of the World Justice Project.
