"The Role of Tradition in Constitutional Law"

Here's the video of a panel with Professors Ernie Young, Kevin Walsh, and me, discussing what I think of as a long-existing, though now emerging, method of constitutional interpretation and law. We all brought different perspectives to the matter, and it was fun to talk together. The program is part of Professor Joel Alicea and Professor Walsh's Project on Constitutional Originalism and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition at The Catholic University, Columbus School of Law. I enjoyed the conversation and questions very much.

 

 

Inaugural Conference of the Center for Law and the Human Person at CUA

I am delighted to be participating in this conference at Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law, next Tuesday, together with fellow MOJ-ers Profs. Mary Leary  and Lisa Schiltz, as well as Prof. Carter Snead. The conference inaugurates the new Center for Law and the Human Person, directed by Elizabeth Kirk. The theme of the conference is "Rightly Ordered Law and the Flourishing of the Human Person."

The title of my talk is "Notes on a New Humanism in Legal Education." I'm told the conference will be recorded, but if you are in DC, please register at the link and do stop by and say hello! I'll have more to say about the substance of my talk soon.
