“Given New Hampshire’s role in hosting the first-in-the-nation presidential primary, it is fitting that University of New Hampshire Franklin Pierce School of Law devotes its annual law review symposium to the theme of ‘Contemporary Issues in Election Law,’” said Kyle C. Kopko, speaker and Symposium Editor of University of New Hampshire Law Review. “This Symposium will bring together distinguished guests to discuss a wide range of election law issues that directly affect Americans of all backgrounds. It is our hope that students, scholars, and members of the public will find this to be an informative and engaging event.”
