Wayne State University Law School will present a program on “Originalism and the Court’s Doctrinal Detours” Thursday, November 13, from 12:15 to 1:45 p.m. in DJK 2242 at the law school, 471 W. Palmer Ave. in Detroit.
This discussion will explore areas where the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence has diverged from originalist principles and the consequences of those departures.
Topics will include the erosion of the jury trial right, limits on federalism and enumerated powers, the court’s creation of tiers of scrutiny and other judicial doctrines, and the role of Justice Thomas’s opinions in highlighting these concerns.
Speakers will discuss whether these developments are compatible with the Constitution’s original understanding or reflect judicial invention beyond the text.
Food and beverages will be provided at the program. To register, visit https://law.wayne.edu and scroll down to “events.”
