Annual Meeting

Meet John Adams-A Lively and Revolutionary Conversation with America's Second President

John Adams talks about his life and times in a humorous and inspiring performance and discusses, among many other incidents in Adams' life, the Boston Massacre Trial of 1770 where Adams defended 14 British soldiers charged with murder for firing into a mob of 500 Bostonians, killing six of them. This case was the first time in a Colonial court where the judge instructed the jury that you cannot convict unless you are convinced of the defendant's guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt." The Texas Tech University School of Law is a proud sponsor of the 2019 Annual Meeting.
