About The Event
Program description:
What if Constitutional Interpretation were a field where “divisions” are much less polarized, and far more civilized, than we are inclined to think? What if, as is true within a family, Supreme Court Justices reasonably disagree--and dramatically so--while remaining fellow believers of the same constitutional doctrine, and even while being and remaining good friends? What does this tell us, if anything, about how we might get to the same place in our lives and our relationships?
These are the questions that will animate a most lively, interactive, and undoubtedly fascinating lecture by Dr. Alan Sager, who will also share with us some personal and precious anecdotes about Supreme Court Justices that he was able to meet in person, as a result of working at the Supreme Court."
