Dear Colleagues,<\/p>\n

Various news reports suggest that the Supreme Court since President Bush\u2019s appointments of Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito has moved \u201cto the right.\u201d Now President Obama has made his first choice, Justice Sotomayor. What could that mean for the Court in future years?<\/p>\n

We might expect that replacing Justice O\u2019Connor with Justice Alito would be a bigger change than replacing Justice Souter with Justice Sotomayor. But neither the Court\u2019s cases nor all issues split so neatly on a \u201cleft\/right\u201d dimension, and a nominee who seems liberal by some standards may seem less so by others.<\/p>\n

As the Court\u2019s new session begins, three of CWRU\u2019s experts on constitutional law will present their varied perspectives on where the Court has been and where it might go in the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Friday lunch schedule has recently been revised<\/strong>.\u00a0Please see the\u00a0revised schedule<\/a>\u00a0below.<\/strong>\u00a0As usual, we will gather in Room 9 of the Inamori International Center for Ethics and Excellence, on the lower level of Crawford Hall, for free cookies, beverages, and brown bag lunch.<\/p>\n

Best regards,
\nJoe White<\/p>\n

About Our Guests<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jonathan H. Adler<\/strong>\u00a0is Professor of Law and Director of the Center for Business Law & Regulation at the Case Western Reserve University School of Law. A prolific writer, he is one of the most widely cited academics in environmental law. His articles have appeared in publications ranging from the Harvard Environmental Law Review and Supreme Court Economic Review to The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post. Professor Adler is the author or editor of three books on environmental policy, including Envi\u00adron\u00admen\u00adtalism at the Crossroads (1995), and several book chapters. A regular commentator on environmental and legal issues, he has appeared on numerous radio and television programs, including the PBS \u201cNewshour with Jim Lehrer,\u201d NPR’s \u201cTalk of the Nation,\u201d Fox News Channel’s \u201cO’Reilly Factor\u201d and \u201cHannity & Colmes,\u201d and Entertainment Tonight. Professor Adler is a contributing editor to National Review Online and a regular contributor to the popular legal blog, \u201cThe Volokh Conspiracy\u201d.<\/p>\n

Professor Adler teaches courses in environmental, regulatory, and constitutional law. In 2004, Professor Adler received the Paul M. Bator Award, given annually by the Federalist Society for Law and Policy Studies to an academic under 40 for excellence in teaching, scholarship, and commitment to students. In 2007, the Case Western Reserve University Law Alumni Association awarded Professor Adler their annual \u201cDistinguished Teacher Award.\u201d Professor Adler serves on the advisory board of the NFIB Legal Foundation, the academic advisory board of the Cato Supreme Court Review, and the Environmental Law Reporter and ELI Press Advisory Board of the Environmental Law Institute.<\/p>\n

Jonathan L. Entin<\/strong>\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 F. Ledford<\/strong>\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\u00a0Bildungsb\u00fcrgertum<\/em>. 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. He 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 his work, a clearer analysis of the complex interplay among state, civil society, and the ideology of the state ruled by law (Rechtsstaat<\/em>) remains the goal. His 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. He 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 of Arts and Sciences.<\/p>\n

The Friday Lunch discussions are held on the lower (ground) level of Crawford Hall. Visitors with mobility issues may find it easiest to take advantage of special arrangements we have made. On most Fridays, a few parking spaces in the V.I.P. lot in between Crawford Hall and Amasa Stone Chapel are held for participants in the lunch discussion.<\/p>\n

Visitors then can avoid walking up the hill to the first floor of Crawford by entering the building on the ground level, through the garage area under the building. The further door on the left in that garage will be left unlocked during the period before the Friday lunch. On occasion, parking will be unavailable because of other university events.<\/p>\n
