I’ll be in my native southern California for several events late next week and early the following week, including:

On Friday, February 19, I will speak on the topic “The Supreme Court and the 2016 Elections” at a lunchtime event co-hosted by two local chapters of the Federalist Society, the San Diego lawyers chapter and California Western law school’s student chapter. Details here.

I’ll also be attending the annual conference on originalism organized by the University of San Diego’s Center for the Study of Constitutional Originalism. The conference—formally titled the Seventh Annual Hugh & Hazel Darling Foundation Originalism Works-in-Progress Conference—takes place on Friday afternoon, February 19, and Saturday, February 20, and features, as usual, presentations by an outstanding roster of scholars.

On Monday, February 22, I’ll be at UC Irvine’s law school for a lunchtime event at which I’ll discuss/debate “The Supreme Court and the 2016 Elections” with UCI law professor Rick Hasen. The event, which UCI law professor Henry Weinstein will moderate, is co-sponsored by the UCI Law Speakers Series and by the student chapters of the American Constitution Society and the Federalist Society.
