Bowen School of Law, on Wednesday, Sept. 17, at noon in the Nucor Auditorium of the Lyon Business and Economics Building on the campus, 2300 Highland Rd., Batesville.

The lecture, “Does the Constitution Protect Rights Beyond Those Listed in the Text?”, is free and open to the public.
Silverstein teaches business law, constitutional law and legal philosophy, and has received multiple teaching honors, including UA Little Rock’s campus-wide Faculty Excellence Award in Teaching. His research focuses on contract law, bankruptcy and assessment practices in legal education. His work has been cited by courts and scholars nationwide, including the United States Supreme Court.
A graduate of New York University School of Law, Silverstein earned his degree magna cum laude before clerking for the Hon. Suzanne B. Conlon of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. He later practiced commercial litigation at Mayer Brown and Freeborn and Peters in Chicago, concentrating on products liability, bankruptcy, antitrust and business torts.
“Constitution Day is a meaningful opportunity for our students and community to explore the enduring impact of our nation’s founding document,” said Anthony Grafton, executive vice president and provost at Lyon College. “We are excited to host Professor Silverstein, whose scholarship and experience offer valuable insights into how the Constitution shapes rights and responsibilities beyond the text itself.”
