Dear Colleagues:<\/p>\n

The Friday Lunch discussions resume on Friday, Sept 1, from 12:30 -1:30 p.m., on the first floor of Guilford House. This week\u2019s topic is whether and how the Supreme Court changed during the first year with Chief Justice Roberts \u2013 and, perhaps more significantly, with Justice Alito replacing Justice O\u2019Conner. Jon Entin, Professor of Law and Political Science, will lead the discussion, which will be hosted by Ken Ledford, Associate Professor of History and Law.<\/p>\n

May the new term bring only good things.<\/p>\n

All the best,
\nJoe White<\/p>\n

More About Our Guest<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Jonathan Entin<\/b>\u00a0has taught Constitutional Law, Administrative Law, Courts, Public Policy, and Social Change, and a Supreme Court Seminar. Before joining the faculty in 1984, he clerked for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (when she was on the U.S. court of Appeals) and practiced in Washington with Steptoe & Johnson. The recipient of several teaching awards and a former co-editor of the Journal of Legal Education, he is at work on a book about equal protection. Among his recent publications are “An Ohio Dilemma: Race, Equal Protection, and the Unfulfilled Promise of a State Bill of Rights,” Cleveland State Law Review (2004), and “Judicial Selection and Political Culture,” Capital University Law Review (2002).<\/p>\n

Kenneth Ledford<\/b>\u00a0is a social historian of modern Germany, from 1789 to the present. His research interests focus primarily upon processes of class formation, particularly the emergence and decline of the profound influence of the educated, liberal middle-class of education, the Bildungsb\u00fcrgertum. The salient ideology of this social group was classical liberalism, whose vocabulary both shaped and was shaped by the primary social institution of the B\u00fcrgertum, law and the legal order. Thus, Professor Ledford has written about German lawyers in private practice, and his present work is on a book about the Prussian judiciary between 1848 and 1918; in all my work, a clearer analysis of the complex interplay among state, civil society, and the ideology of the state ruled by law (Rechtsstaat) remains the goal. Professor Ledford’s teaching interests extend beyond German history since 1789 to include the history of the European middle classes, the history of the professions, European legal history, other processes of class formation including German and European labor history, as well as the history of European international relations and diplomatic history. Professor Ledford enjoys interdisciplinary intellectual work by belonging to the faculties of the College of Arts and Sciences as well as the School of Law, and by participating in both the International Studies and German Studies programs within the College.<\/p>\n
