Jamal Greene, Dwight Professor of Law at Columbia Law School and author, speaks at the City Club.
Jamal Greene is Dwight Professor of Law at Columbia Law School and author of the book How Rights Went Wrong: Why Our Obsession with Rights is Tearing America Apart. His work reveals how our approach to rights is dividing America and shows how we can build a better system of justice.
Rights are a sacred part of American identity. Yet they also are the source of some of our greatest divisions. The varying responses to preventative measures enacted to stem the COVID-19 pandemic is a clear example of these divisions—especially today as students return to in-classroom instruction.
Jamal Greene argues that the system of legal absolutism distorts our law, debases our politics, and exacerbates our differences rather than helping to bridge them.
So how do we rethink our relationship with constitutional law, recover America’s original vision of rights, while also updating them to confront the challenges of the twenty-first century?
Join us in-person at the City Club as we discuss this, and more with author Jamal Greene.

Our new address is 1317 Euclid Ave., Suite 100. We are located on the north side of Euclid Ave., between E. 13th and E 14th Streets, which means the RTA’s free E-Line and C-line trolleys, and the Healthline all stop in front of our building.
If you are driving, park in the Playhouse Square Parking Garage, located at 1450 Chester Ave. You can view a map of the garage here. If you are at the City Club between 10:30 am and 3 pm, bring your ticket with you into the City Club and we will provide validation to reduce your cost to $3.00. Special rates do apply outside those hours.
After parking in the garage, you can walk to the City Club’s entrance on Euclid Ave. via the covered walkway. The walkway is accessible from the 2nd floor of the garage – keep walking through it until you reach Euclid Avenue, then turn right and our entrance is located just beneath the blue gong logo!
