The Federalist Society last Saturday sponsored a symposium at Yale Law School that discussed “Achieving Intellectual Diversity” on law school faculties. It was a sequel of sorts to an earlier symposium that it had sponsored at Harvard Law School. Saturday’s event began with opening remarks by Yale Law School’s dean, Robert Post, and two others, followed by three panels: “What Can Law Schools Do To Encourage Intellectual Diversity?,” “What Can Intellectual Diversity Do for the Practice of Law?,” and “What Can Intellectual Diversity Do for Legal Scholarship?”

A video will be available of this valuable event, and I’ll be sure to share that link with Phi Beta Cons when I get it, but in the meantime here is what I, as a participant on the second panel, had to say.
