Supreme Court Wrap Up Events

After the jump are all the events wrapping up the Supreme Court Term that I know about, presented in chronological order. Please excuse any and all formatting glitches. I’m doing a lot of cutting and pasting here.

American Enterprise Institute

Fifth Annual Supreme Court Review

Wednesday, June 29, 2005, 3:00–5:15 p.m.
Wohlstetter Conference Center, Twelfth Floor, AEI
1150 Seventeenth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036

Once again, as another Supreme Court term comes to an end, the AEI Federalism Project has assembled a panel of distinguished experts to examine the fallout. Does the United States Constitution still have a Commerce Clause and a Takings Clause? Or have this year’s medical marijuana case and property rights cases given Congress regulatory carte blanche on intrastate commerce and private property? Have we witnessed the emergence of the Stevens Court, and what is it up to? Join us for an afternoon of stimulating analysis and prognosis.

District of Columbia Bar
Courts, Lawyers and the Administration of Justice Section

Presents a Summer Series Luncheon Program

The Supreme Court: The View From the Press Gallery

As always, the Supreme Court will address many fascinating questions this Term: May the Ten Commandments be posted on government property? Do principles of federalism prevent federal prosecution of home-grown marijuana that’s legal under state law? Can the government use the power of eminent domain to seize your property and sell it to me? Are the police liable if they fail to enforce a stay-away order and as a result your estranged husband murders your children? This Term, however, perhaps the most interesting questions don’t involve argued cases: What effect did Chief Justice Rehnquist’s illness and absence have? Who is likely to be nominated to replace him? How will that affect the Court? What did the Justices really think about the Terry Schiavo case?

The Court’s formal decisions will be on the front pages, but what happens behind the scenes? The Justices and their law clerks won’t talk, but this panel of distinguished journalists who cover the Supreme Court will take a behind-the-headlines look at the major cases and issues before the Court this Term as well as the personalities and interactions among the Justices, and will also offer their annual predictions for next Term.

On the Docket 2005: The Death Penalty in the Supreme Court

Saturday, August 6
2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Acapulco, Gold Level, West Tower
Hyatt Regency
Chicago, IL
About the Event
More than 30 years after the Court’s landmark decision in Furman v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 238 (1972), the debate over the limits and constitutionality of capital punishment shows no signs of abating. To the contrary, the Court found itself revisiting the death penalty in an astonishing 12 of the docket’s 75 cases during the 2004 Term alone. This year the Division for Public Education’s Preview of United States Supreme Court Cases will present an expert panel to analyze how the Court tackled that barrage of death penalty related questions—questions that ranged from whether the juvenile death penalty is cruel and unusual to the circumstances in which jurors must be told that life-without-parole is an alternative sentence to death.
This is a free CLE program.
