Judicial Supremacy? The Constitution Outside the Courts
Moderator
and Speaker:
Robert C. Post, University of California at Berkeley
Speakers: - William E. Forbath, The University of Texas
- Larry D. Kramer, New York University
- Reva B. Siegel, Yale Law School
Prompted partly by the Court's recent vaulting claims to a monopoly of interpretive authority over the Constitution, a number of us have been working in the area of constitutional interpretation outside the courts. This work spans moments in constitutional development from the founding to the social movements of the 20th Century. How have constitutional deliberation, interpretation, and lawmaking varied in different institutional settings and social forms? And what are the implications of this history and these practices for contemporary claims of judicial supremacy?
