From Harvard Law Today: Judge Easterbrook delivers inaugural Scalia lecture: ‘Interpreting the Unwritten Constitution’ (with video). Here's the background:
On Monday, Nov. 17, Judge Frank Easterbrook of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals kicked off an inaugural lecture series named after his old friend, colleague and intellectual compatriot, Justice Antonin Scalia, who attended the talk titled “Interpreting the Unwritten Constitution.”
Easterbrook and Scalia were once colleagues on the faculty of the University of Chicago Law School and also as lawyers in the Ford Administration. Harvard Law School Dean Martha Minow invited Easterbrook to deliver the first in a series of lectures aimed at promoting and advancing the understanding of the founding principles and core doctrines of the U.S. Constitution. The series, funded by an anonymous donor, is set to include one lecture per academic year for ten years and involve speakers drawn from the fields of political science, history, philosophy, law, government, religion and related disciplines.
Bonus: smug picture of Justice Scalia in the audience.
(Apologies: Since I didn't go to Harvard I'm two weeks late on the news).
