Williams, Richard Delgado, Cheryl Harris, Frank Michelman, Anita Allen, Mari Matsuda, Kendall Thomas, Lani Guinier, John O. Calmore, Robert A. Williams, Paul Butler, Emma Coleman Jordan, Devon W.

Boalt Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law. Additional information, including registration information, is available here.

Initially funded by the generous support of the Friends of Derrick Bell and the Geneva Crenshaw Society, the Bell Lecture is supported by New York University School of Law and by the Black, Latino, Asian Pacific American Law Alumni Association (BLAPA) at NYU Law. To honor Derrick Bell’s memory and to continue his quest for social justice, the family asks that contributions be made to the Derrick Bell Lecture Fund.
