MILWAUKEE — Former Sen. Russ Feingold will be the featured guest for an upcoming virtual “On the Issues with Mike Gousha,” Thursday, Oct. 22.

The video will be available at 12:15 p.m. on the Marquette University Law School website.

This will be the first of two conversations featuring different perspectives on the role the Supreme Court, the United States justice system and the rule of law are playing in this year’s election cycle.

Sen. Feingold is the president of the American Constitution Society. The organization describes itself as the leading progressive legal network in the country, with 200 student and lawyer chapters. From 1993 to 2011, Feingold represented Wisconsin in the U.S. Senate, where he served on the Judiciary, Foreign Relations, Budget and Intelligence Committees. Since leaving government service, Feingold has taught at Marquette Law School, Stanford University Law School, Yale University Law School and Harvard University Law School.

The virtual “On the Issues” is available to members of the general public.

Through public programming such as the Marquette Law School Poll, debates featuring candidates in significant political races, Gousha’s “On the Issues” conversations with newsmakers, public lectures by leading scholars, conferences on significant issues of public importance and the work of its Lubar Center for Public Policy Research and Civic Education, the Law School serves as the region’s leading venue for serious civil discourse about law and public policy matters.
