-- Michael McConnell, Mallory Professor of Law, Stanford Law School and Director of the Stanford Constitutional Law Center Among the many rights and freedoms that Americans enjoy, what is the correct Constitutional status of the right of religious freedom? Is it a right that should have priority over other rights and as such is a "first freedom"? Or is it a right equal to other rights? These questions are at the heart of the current national debate over religious freedom, contraception, and the new federal health care law. Professor McConnell, one of the leading Constitutional theorists on religious freedom, will address such questions and more in a talk especially keyed to our times.

In his talk, he will provide an overview of contemporary hacking and raise questions about the ethical assumptions driving the phenomenon.
