The Fred T. Korematsu Center for Law and Equality is pleased to invite you to its upcoming conference commemorating the 25th anniversary of the Ninth Circuit opinion in the Hirabayashi v. United States coram nobis case.
The conference, to be held on Saturday, February 11, 2012, at Campion Ballroom on the Seattle University campus, will celebrate Mr. Hirabayashi's courage in resisting military orders that culminated in the incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II; reflect on his 1943 Supreme Court case that upheld his convictions and the extraordinary work of his legal team in reopening of his case nearly 40 years later; and use his case as a springboard to move forward in the struggle for civil rights.
Admission for members of the general public is free. Admission for attorneys wishing CLE credits (5.25 credits) is $50.00. All participants must register. The conference schedule is now available.
