As Scott Moss already has, let me also announce for those who are interested a terrific symposium to be held tomorrow at UCLA Law School, Constitutional “Niches”: The Role of Institutional Context in Constitutional Law. As the title suggests, the subject of the symposium is the role occasions for, and limits on the consideration of institutional context as a relevant factor in constitutional adjudication. The UCLA Law Review, which organized the symposium, outdid itself. The panelists are terrific, including Pam Karlan, Carol Rose, Fred Schauer, Cynthia Estlund, John Yoo, and Mark Rosen. There are also a couple of fantastic relative newbies on the list, including Scott and including yours truly (the newbie part, not the fantastic part), in my case speaking about universities as First Amendment institutions. My symposium piece isn’t ready for general circulation, but when it is I’ll flog it here.
If you happen to be on the West side of LA tomorrow, perhaps caught between auditions and not really feeling like spending another afternoon hanging out at the Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf pretending to be writing a screenplay but mostly reading Defamer, please stop on by. Admission is free to Prawfsblawg readers. And to everyone else. But if you identify yourself as a Prawfs fan I’ll be happy to autograph your symposium program. (“Just make it out to Joe. And could you sign it ‘Fred Schauer?'”)
