The talk with Angela Cornell was very intriguing. It sparked a discussion regarding the legality of protest when one acts as an agent of their employer. The core of the discussion was legality versus morality, which is seems to be a recurring theme in a number of my classes. Is it right for someone to remain complacent in the face of adversity because that is what legally is right? Or is it better to compromise their social and financial position to ethically go against what a government entity has deemed deviant? It was great to get the perspective of a law professor.

The best part of the talk was the engagement Professor Cornell encouraged from the students in attendance. We all got an equal opportunity to express our ideas and opinions, and through discussion, PRofessor COrnell brought us to the current state of the law. We logically forged a path that led to what we thought should be the law, and then she made us cognizant of the downfall of such restrictions. It was very eye-opening. I would definitely attend a talk by her again if available.
