DESCRIPTION:The 51³Ô¹ÏÍøLaw Journal is pleased to invite you to attend its A
 nnual Lecture\, to be delivered by acclaimed Professor Mari Matsuda\, from
  the University of Hawai'i.\n\nAccreditation for 1.5 hours of continuing l
 egal education for jurists is pending.\n\nA cocktail reception will follow
  in the Atrium.\n\nOverview\n\nIn 2015\, a law professor attempted to buil
 d an orchestra comprising instruments constructed out of the waste stream.
  These instruments\, made from trash and discards\, wielded by volunteer m
 usicians\, were the constituent parts of The Next Dada Utopian Visioning P
 eace Orchestra. In its public debut\, the orchestra presented a Manifesto 
 of Radical Intersubjective Collectivity and Imagined Possibility.* Like mo
 st endeavors in the Dada tradition\, this one included a strong dose of th
 e absurd\, but\, as with original Dada\, this sense of the absurd came out
  of visceral reaction to the carnage of war and the stubborn pursuit of ar
 t in the face of trauma.\n\nThe premise of this lecture is that we have re
 ached an interesting moment in human history. Either we will become deeply
  aspirational in our Constitutional interpretation or we will face other c
 hallenges. What does an orchestra made out of discarded objects have to do
  with the foundational documents of self-governance? What do critical race
  theory and feminist legal theory have to say about art\, and what does ar
 t have to say about justice? Is a utopian vision required in order to impl
 ement change through law? And where do we begin if our charge is to change
  radically\, now\, before it is too late?  Maybe the Orchestra knows.\n\nA
 bout the speaker\n\nMari J. Matsuda is an American lawyer\, activist\, and
  law professor at the William S. Richardson School of Law at the Universit
 y of Hawaii. \n\nHer intellectual influence extends beyond law reviews (sh
 e authored three entries on a Yale Law School librarian's list of the ten 
 most-cited law review articles) to include articles in academic and popula
 r journals such as Amerasia Journal and Ms. Magazine. She is one of the le
 ading voices in critical race theory since its inception. Her publications
  on reparations and affirmative action are frequently cited.\n
