Harvard Law School (Harvard Law School Instructional Services) "the Dean's Forum" on October 4, 2005 at Langdell Hall, Harvard Law School, panel discussion regarding GWBush SCOTUS nominee Harriet E. Miers, recent SCOTUS decisions, and upcoming SCOTUS cases, moderated by Harvard Law School Dean Elena Kagan (former clerk to SCOTUS Justice Thurgood Marshall) and featured on panel L to R: (1) Harvard Law School Professor David Barron, (2) Harvard Law School Professor Charles Fried, (3) Harvard Law School Professor Martha Field, and (4) Harvard Law School Professor Richard Fallon -- all experts in constitutional law.

Recent decisions discussed included the controversial Kelo v. Connecticut land use case and the split decision on the use of religious symbols on government property. Looking ahead, the professors cited three cases as particularly noteworthy: the Oregon assisted suicide case, a constitutional challenge to campaign finance reform and the upcoming case on the Solomon Amendment, a law that bars federal funding to universities that restrict military recruiting on campus.

This is an excellent panel discussion by experts in constitutional law. Q&A also. I highly recommend it.

2. Hey, paineinthearse . . .

You can still view/hear it on the .rm (RealPlayer) stream that I posted. . . np.

Also, try the Harvard website that I posted at the bottom of the OP and see if you can find a lecture schedule somewhere and if it's open to the public.

3. Too many websites, to little time

I was asking if you had advanced notice to a public event, you could post it to the Mass forum.
