Supreme Court Round-Up

It’s time to talk about the Supreme Court term: the big decisions, the surprising dissents, and what this term’s new precedents mean for the future of law and public policy.

Join Pacific Legal Foundation, America’s Future, and The Federalist Society on Thursday, July 20, in Sacramento, California, for a cocktail reception and discussion as we mark the end of the Supreme Court term.

You can ask our panel of legal experts about hot-button cases on religious liberty, affirmative action, the Clean Water Act, and more. You’ll find out how a case about the Dormant Commerce Clause could affect California regulation going forward, what comes next after the Court’s unanimous rejection of home equity theft, and what two Justices’ concurrence on excessive fines might mean for the future of qualified immunity. 

The evening’s featured speakers are:

• Damien Schiff (Pacific Legal Foundation), who won a big Supreme Court victory this term challenging EPA overreach;
• Bradley Benbrook (Hicks Thomas), a California-based attorney who specializes in high-profile litigation;
• Anastasia P. Boden (Cato Institute), Director of the Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies whose writings on law and liberty have been featured extensively in national publications;
• Kent S. Scheidegger (Criminal Justice Legal Foundation), who has written over 150 briefs for the Supreme Court.

Register now to join us for an evening of discussion, debate, and networking.

The Presiding Justice Robert K. Puglia Sacramento Chapter of the Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is a Sacramento-area group interested in the current state of the legal order. As a Lawyers Chapter of the national Federalist Society, it is founded on the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our Constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be. The Federalist Society seeks both to promote an awareness of these principles and to further their application through its activities.
