Sponsored by the Law School, the talk is free and open to the public.p.

He teaches film and video production in the Department of Film, Television and Theatre, specializing in digital post-production, and also writes a regular column on the media for the Indianapolis Star.p. Seckinger, a professor of law, earned his law degree from Notre Dame, where he served as articles editor of the Notre Dame Law Review.
