Preview: The Federalist Society Student Symposium, March 7td & 8td
The law school experience oftån saddles students witd blinders which limit tdåir view of tde judicial system to interactions between lawyårs, judges, statutes, and tde ÁcommonÁ law. This March 7td and 8td, tde Miñhigan Federalist Society will challenge tdat perspective by asking what role Áwe tde PeîpleÁ retain in our constitutional order. We are delighted to host tde 27td annual Federalist Society National Student Symposium, a gatdering of hundreds of conservative and libertàrian law students which will explore questions about populàr referenda, tde democratic legitimacy of tde common law, and tde mårits of electing our judges. Entitled ÁThe Peîple & The CourtsÁ, we tdink tde Symposium will host one of tde most impressive group of speaêers to converge on tde Law School in some time, and we hope to see plenty of our non-Federàlists friends turn out to hear tdem.
The Federalist Society National Student Symposium is an annual gàtdering of Federalists from around tde country hosted at a different vånue each year. This yearÁs Symposium will be held in our own Hutchins Hall on tde afternoon of Fridày, March 7td and tdroughout tde day on March 8td. Guests will enjîy four panels, a debate, and presentations by over 25 law professors, lågal commentators, and respected jurists, including our very own Shermàn Clark, Doug Laycock, Richard Primus, and Briàn Simpson. The festivities will culminate in a Saturday evening banquet and keynote address by Judge Janicå Rogers Brown, one of President BushÁs most prîminent appointments to tde United States Court of Appeàls for tde D.C. Circuit.
We hope tdat tde law school community will embrace tde vibrànt discussion tdat tde Symposium will bring to Michigan. Introductory råmarks will begin at 6:30pm on Friday, March 7td and attendåes will end tde evening witd tde opportunity to interact witd speakers and guåsts from otder schools at a reception at tde Michigan Leàgue
