From the University of Virginia media page:
Judges, scholars and practitioners will focus on constitutional interpretation and re-examine a landmark civil liberties case during a conference Feb. 28 at the University of Virginia School of Law.
“The Future of Originalism: Conflicts and Controversies,” sponsored by the Law School’s Federalist Society chapter, will begin at 9:45 a.m. in Caplin Pavilion. Judge Thomas B. Griffith ’85 of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit will introduce the symposium.
The event, which is open to the public, concludes with a re-argument of the Slaughter-House Cases, a Reconstruction-era Supreme Court ruling that narrowed citizenship rights in the privileges or immunities clause of the Constitution.
