Rice Hasson Distinguished Lecture Series: Prof. Steven Smith

Steven Smith, Warren Distinguished Professor of Law; Co-Executive Director, Institute for Law & Religion; Co-Executive Director, Institute for Law & Philosophy at the University of San Diego School of Law, will give the 2024 Rice Hasson Distinguised Lecture at Notre Dame Law School.

The title of his talk will be, "We Hold . . . What Truths? Further Reflections on the American Proposition."

In 2020, the Program on Church, State & Society launched the Rice-Hasson Distinguished Lecture Series to honor the late Notre Dame Law Professor Charles E. Rice, as well as Kevin J. “Seamus” Hasson and his wife, Mary Rice Hasson. Both Kevin and Mary are graduates of Notre Dame and the Law School. The Rice-Hasson Lecture allows the Program to bring a highly distinguished scholar to campus each year to give a public lecture that will engage the University and Law School communities.
