About the Levitt Lecture Series:
The Levitt Lectures are to provide opportunities for the College of Law to bring to campus truly distinguished speakers from across the U.S and around the globe to present major lectures of interest, not only to the legal community and the University, but also to leaders in all walks of life in the state and region. The Levitt Lecture by James Carville and Mary Matalin is the 31st in the series. Previous Levitt Lecturers include Nobel Peace Prize recipients, a sitting justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, former U.S. Attorneys General and Pulitzer Prize winning journalists and authors.
The Richard S. Levitt Lecture Series is supported by an endowment held by the Iowa Law School Foundation known as the Levitt Family Lectureship Fund. This fund was created by a major gift from Richard S. (Dick) Levitt and Jeanne Levitt who are among the University of Iowa’s most loyal and generous alumni supporters. The Levitt Center for University Advancement, opened in 1998, honors Dick and Jeanne Levitt for their consistent and generous support of programs and projects all across the University of Iowa
