House Speaker will talk at Law School

House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) will speak at 5 p.m. Monday, Sept. 29, in Lincoln Hall at the School of Law.

Presented by the Brodsky Family Northwestern JD/MBA Fund, the lecture is free and open to the public.

“Leading officials who visit Northwestern to deliver this lecture are instilling in future lawyers and business professionals a better understanding of the important role the government plays in the legal and business worlds,” said William J. Brodsky, CEO of the Chicago Board Options Exchange.

Joan and Bill Brodsky established the fund in 2001 to honor their children who received graduate degrees from Northwestern.

Hastert is now serving his third term as Speaker of the House, the third highest elected official in the U.S. government, and his ninth term as the Republican congressman for Illinois’ 14th Congressional District.
