CASBS Gathers Alumni and Friends in Miami

"Can Democracy Survive the Internet?"

This was the question posed at a gathering of approximately fifty CASBS friends and Stanford alumni in Miami on February 22, 2018. Stanford law professor and current CASBS fellow Nate Persily was joined by CASBS director Margaret Levi in a conversation on this timely topic. The event was hosted by Carlos and Rosa de la Cruz at their beautiful de la Cruz Collection.
