Institute For Justice Litigator To Speak At UA Law School

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - The public is invited to hear Institute for Justice Litigator, Clark Neily at noon, Tuesday, September 28 in Room 328 of the Leflar Law Center at University of Arkansas School of Law.

As a member of the Institute for Justice, which is based out of Washington, D.C., Neily is in courts across the country preserving freedom of opportunity and challenging government’s control over individuals’ lives. Currently, Neily litigates economic liberty, property rights, school choice, First Amendment and other constitutional cases in both federal and state courts. He recently served as counsel in a successful challenge to Nevada’s limousine licensing practices, which effectively prevented small business-persons from operating their own limousine services in the Law Vegas area. He is also litigating the Institute’s challenges to Oklahoma’s licensing requirement for independent casket retailers and New York City’s regulation of commuter vans.

The cases that the Institute for Justice litigates demonstrate that individual initiative, freedom of enterprise, freedom of speech, private property rights, and the legal protection of these liberties are vital to the future of all Americans, but especially those at the bottom of the economic ladder. The Institute for Justice’s clients and cases illustrate the tangible benefits of liberty and the need for greater protection of basic American freedoms.

During his visit Tuesday to the Law School, Neily will give a brief lecture followed by a question and answer session.
