Election 2024: Supreme Court in Focus
Originalism, the Roberts Court, and the Future of Constitutional Interpretation
In celebration of Constitution Day, the Institute of American Civics at the Howard H. Baker Jr. School of Public Policy and Public Affairs at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, hosted Keith Whittington, the David Boies Professor of Law at Yale Law School.
An audience of over 300 students, faculty, and the public filled an auditorium at the student union to listen to Whittington speak on the questions of how the Constitution works, how we should be interrupting it, and what the future of the court and constitutional interruption might be. He set the table by giving general thought to constitutional interpretation and defining originalism.
