Prof. Goodwin Delivers 2012 Stuart Rome Lecture at University of Maryland School of Law

Professor Michele Goodwin delivered the 2012 Stuart Rome Lecture at the University of Maryland School of Law. Goodwin's lecture focused on criminal prosecution of drug-dependent pregnant women. Goodwin discussed the selective enforcement of criminal laws, which tend to target vulnerable subpopulations, and the normative problems that are likely to emerge from continued reproductive policing in the United States. The Stuart Rome Lecture brings distinguished scholars, policy makers, and practitioners in the field of law and health care to speak at the Maryland School of Law. The lecture series is supported by Stuart Rome's family in honor of his life and work as an attorney, community activist, art patron, and humanitarian.
