This Thursday, I’ll be taking part in an early-morning conference in D.C. titled “The Future of the Roberts Court.” As I understand it, the conference has two panels. The panel I’m on will discuss the Roberts Court as the Chief Justice approaches his tenth anniversary. The second panel will address the peculiar question whether “technology and term limits [can] break open this most opaque branch of government.” Other participants include Viet Dinh, Tom Goldstein, David Lat, and Dahlia Lithwick.

The conference is some sort of joint enterprise between the newpaper Politico and something called “Come to Terms: A Project of Fix the Court.” For what it’s worth, I received and accepted the invitation from Politico, and my participation of course does not signal my agreement with the agenda for term limits for justices that Come to Terms is pursuing.

Registration is free, and the event includes a continental breakfast.
