[event] Speaker: Joshua Dressler--From Murder to Manslaughter



Last semester Joshua Dressler commented on a post we made concerning his 1995 article, When "HETEROSEXUAL" Men Kill "HOMOSEXUAL" Men: Reflections On Provocation Law, Sexual Advances, and the "REASONABLE MAN" Standard, 85 J. Crim. L. & Criminology 726. The conversations that came out of that post (of which there were many) led to Professor Dressler's agreeing to visit us here at Michigan to speak on the provocation defense and its off-shoot, the "gay panic" defense.

We are very excited to have him here, and hope that everyone will honor the man whose words taught most of us Criminal law by joining us in welcoming him.

Thursday, February 16th.
12:15-1:20 in Room 220, Hutchins Hall.
