December 2015 marked 150 years since the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment—an occasion of singular moral, political, and legal importance in American history. This panel reflects on that past with an eye toward the future. While the Amendment plainly outlaws slavery itself, does it go beyond that, or authorize Congress to go beyond that, and if so, how? -- This panel was held on January 5, 2017 during the 19th Annual Faculty Conference in San Francisco, CA. -- Panel: The Thirteenth Amendment 150 Years Later -- Prof. Jennifer Mason McAward, Notre Dame Law School; Prof. Alexander Tsesis, Loyola University of Chicago School of Law; and Prof. David Upham, University of Dallas.
