Symposium to discuss Justice Clarence Thomas

The University of Detroit Mercy Law Review will host a Symposium on Friday, March 11, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Detroit Athletic Club. The topic of the Symposium is, "Celebrating an Anniversary: A Twenty-Year Review of Justice Clarence Thomas' Jurisprudence and Contributions as an Associate Justice on the U.S. Supreme Court." The Symposium will be moderated by UDM Law alumni Michigan Supreme Court Justice Brian Zahra and Michigan Court of Appeals Judge Christopher Murray. The students have invited scholars from across the political spectrum, some of whom find Justice Thomas' jurisprudence appealing, and some who do not. They expect a lively conversation and substantial disagreement among the panelists. The morning session is an individual liberty panel comprised of Richard Broughton (UDM Law), Jonathan Entin (Case Western Reserve), Scott Gerber (Ohio Northern), and Christopher Smith (MSU). The keynote address during lunch will be made by Dr. John Eastman, Justice Thomas' former clerk who is the former dean and current Donald P. Kennedy Chair in Law at Chapman University School of Law. The afternoon session is a governmental powers panel comprised of Richard Albert (Boston College), Ralph Rossum (Claremont McKenna), Ilya Somin (George Mason), and Lee Strang (Toledo).
