In addition to attending the inaugural Judge J. Clifford Wallace Lecture at Berkeley next week, I’ll be taking part in two lunchtime events, one at Berkeley, one in Sacramento.

On Wednesday, January 27, law professor Josh Blackman and I will discuss “Selecting the Next Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court,” and Berkeley law professor Bertrall Ross will offer commentary. The Boalt Hall event begins at 12:45 and is jointly sponsored by the Berkeley law school chapter of the Federalist Society and the Koret Foundation.

On Thursday, January 28, I will speak to the Sacramento lawyers chapter of the Federalist Society on “The Supreme Court and the 2016 Elections.”

(All of this assumes that the anticipated blizzard in D.C. tomorrow and Saturday won’t prevent me from flying out on Monday.)
