Dear Colleagues: The Supreme Court’s new term begins on the First Monday in October. So each year the Center for Policy Studies invites a panel of our distinguished Law faculty to discuss what major issues are on the docket, how they might be decided, and why. This year there is something about a health care law, but other issues as well… Jonathan Adler is Professor of Law and Directs the CWRU Center for Business Law and Regulation. Jonathan Entin is Professor of Law and Political Science. Ken Ledford is Associate Professor of History and Law. Their wide range of views and expertise ensures that the presentation every year is filled with both information and insight. Very best regards, A New Location We are unfortunately unable to continue to gather in the Inamori Center classrooms. Many thanks to Shannon French for arranging that for the past few years, but we have to move on. We are very fortunate that the Kelvin Smith Library has stepped up to help out. So we’ll meet each Friday when classes are in session in the Dampeer Room of Kelvin Smith Library from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm. The Dampeer Room is on the second floor of the library. If you get off the elevators, it is just around the corner to the right. Parking Possibilities The most convenient parking is the lot underneath Severance Hall. We regret that it is not free. From that lot there is an elevator up to street level (labeled as for the Thwing Center); it is less than 50 yards from that exit to the library entrance. There is also on-street parking on both East Drive and Bellflower. Both are fairly short walks from the library. Friday Lunch Upcoming Topics and Speakers: September 2: Supreme Court Preview.
