A Constitution No More: The Politicization of the Supreme Court and Our Founding Document
Wednesday, Sept. 8 @ 12:30
Location Moot Court IGuest Speaker: Steve Dillard
This is our first speaker event of the year. Mr. Dillard will deliver a presentation on originalism -- or as we like to call it "the right way to interpret the Constitution." The touchstone of his presentation is extensive and lively Q&A with students. Mr. Dillard draws from his broad experience as (among other things) an federal appellate law clerk, former legal policy adviser to Governor Mike Huckabee, short list nominee for the Georgia Supreme Court, member of the Georgia Judicial Nominating Committee, president of the Macon Fed Soc, and appellate attorney.We are thrilled that Mr. Dillard is taking time out of his busy schedule to travel to Oxford.
