We are less than two months from the tenth anniversary of Justice Antonin Scalia’s death. The past decade has seen Justice Scalia’s legacy flourish beyond what anyone would have imagined when the news of his death reached us.
I am pleased to report that to mark the occasion the Ethics and Public Policy Center (where I work) and the American Enterprise Institute are co-sponsoring an outstanding symposium on February 11 and 12, 2026.
I have worked with AEI’s Yuval Levin and Adam White to organize the symposium. We have a great set of participants, including seven federal judges, three U.S. Solicitors General (current and past), and a dozen or so distinguished law professors. Topics include executive power and separation of powers; originalism and textualism; the Religion Clauses, administrative law, and Scalia’s writing.
To give you just a taste of the symposium: Our panelists in our opening session on executive power and separation of powers are Solicitor General John Sauer, former Solicitor General Noel Francisco, and law professor John Yoo. Ninth Circuit judge Daniel Bress will moderate the session.
See the full schedule, and please register to attend (in person or online).
