Chicago-Kent Law Review

The Chicago-Kent Law Review cordially invites you to attend its upcoming Fall 2026 Symposium, “Who Belongs? The Contested History of Birthright Citizenship.” Bringing together leading scholars of constitutional law and legal history, the symposium situates the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Trump v. Barbara within the nation’s long history of battles over birthright citizenship. Panelists will explore what American citizenship was, what it has become, and where it may be headed, offering practitioners, judges, and scholars essential tools and perspectives for navigating one of the defining constitutional debates of our era.
