This Symposium brings together scholars from all over the country to discuss a variety of issues surrounding violence against women. The four panels will consider pressing issues related to rape, anticipatory self-defense, and punishment. Each panel will reserve substantial time for question and answer sessions with the panelists in order to encourage meaningful discussions on this important topic.
Papers from the symposium will be published in the Texas Tech Law Review. The program follows up on nine previous conferences on criminal law organized by Texas Tech University School of Law.
