Forms will be available for CLE credit application.
This is a free event, but registration is required.
Topics include:
Professor Jeff Cooper
Justice Scalia and the Transformation of Statutory Interpretation
Justice Scalia's approach to statutory interpretation may be his longest-lasting legacy. In writings including A Matter of Interpretation, the Justice announced his "textualist" approach to interpretation. Professor Cooper will show how that methodology plays out in important opinions over Justice Scalia's 30 years on the Supreme Court.
Professor John Hill
Justice Scalia in Dissent
Not since Oliver Wendell Holmes have the dissents of a Supreme Court justice been as pungently witty, acerbically funny -- and influential -- as those of Justice Scalia. Professor Hill will use dissents by Justice Scalia as a window into his influence on the nation's highest court.
Professor Max Huffman
Justice Scalia: A reluctant standard-bearer for Chicago-School Antitrust
This segment will include a discussion of Justice Scalia's dissent in Eastman Kodak v. Image Tech. Servs. (1992), Justice Scalia's majority opinion in Verizon v. Trinko (2004), and his concurrence in F. Hoffmann-Laroche Ltd. v. Empagran (2004).
Professor Florence Wagman Roisman
Justice Scalia's Probes at the Boundaries of Administrative Law
Justice Scalia's professional biography includes stints as Chairman of the ABA Section of Administrative Law and as an Executive Branch appointee in the President's Office of Telecommunications Policy, in the Administrative Conference of the United States, and in the Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel. It is not surprising that while on the Court he made his mark on the field. Professor Roisman will discuss some of Justice Scalia's distinctive contributions to Administrative Law.
Professor Lahny Silva
Scalia & the Sixth Amendment
Professor Silva will discuss two separate lines of the Sixth Amendment cases in which Scalia not only authored the seminal case, but changed the course of criminal prosecution. The topics include the Confrontation Clause (Crawford) and Sentencing (Apprendi).
Professor Scott W. Gaylord, Elon University School of Law
Justice Scalia and the Religion Clauses
As in many areas, Justice Scalia had strong views regarding the proper scope and interpretation of the Religion Clauses--and was never shy about expressing those views in his opinions. From his majority opinion in Employment Division v. Smith to his dissent in Lee v. Weisman, Justice Scalia had a profound influence on the Court’s Free Exercise and Establishment Clause jurisprudence.
