Prof. Ciara Torres-Spellicsy has written an excellent book, “Corporate Citizen? An Argument for the Separation of Corporation and State,” about the ascendant power of corporations as citizens in American law, including but hardly limited to the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling allowing unlimited spending on elections founded on the long-held finding that companies have the same First Amendment rights as individuals.

On Thursday, October 27, at 6 p.m. I’ll have the privilege of interviewing Torres-Spellicsy about “Corporate Citizen?” at a Manhattan event hosted by the Brennan Center for Justice, where she’s a fellow.

Come join us at Civic Hall, 156 5th Avenue (between 20th and 21st streets), 2nd Floor. More information and RSVP here.
