University of Miami School of Law Professor Mary Anne Franks will deliver the annual Constitution Day Lecture on Sept. 15, 1 p.m., in Cartwright Hall, Room 213. Her speech is titled “Guns, Speech, and Sex: The Rise of Constitutional Extremism.”

Franks—who teaches criminal law, criminal procedure, family law, and First Amendment law—is one of the nation’s leading experts on the issue of “revenge porn.” During the lecture, Franks will explain how extremists on both the Right and Left invoke an oversimplified interpretation of the U.S. Constitution to justify irrational and destructive agendas.

The event is sponsored by Drake Law School’s Constitutional Law Center and is free and open to everyone. For more information, visit the Drake Newsroom.
