This public awareness-based programming has developed
into an award-winning television series. Each
program is produced and moderated by MSLAW professors,
who prepare the outlines. Dean Lawrence R. Velvel,
Associate Dean and Professor Michael L. Coyne,
Professor Diane Sullivan, and Professor Constance
Rudnick have been responsible for hundreds of
the programs. Professors, Kurt Olson, Andrej Starkis,

On each program leading experts and authors discuss
and answer questions about a major topic in their
field or important books they have written. The
programs allow members of the public, including
students at all levels of the educational process,
to quickly become familiar with the most important
ideas and facts relating to hundreds of different
topics.
