Monday, April 28: Professor Patrick Garry to Lead Lunch Discussion on Judicial Decisionmaking

By Aaron Street

On Monday, April 28, University of South Dakota Law Professor Patrick Garry will lead a discussion on his new book, "An Entrenched Legacy: How the New Deal Constitutional Revolution Continues to Shape the Role of the Supreme Court."

From Amazon:

"An Entrenched Legacy takes a fresh look at the role of the Supreme Court in our modern constitutional system. Although criticisms of judicial power today often attribute its rise to the activism of justices seeking to advance particular political ideologies, Patrick Garry argues instead that the Supreme Court's power has grown mainly because of certain constitutional decisions during the New Deal era that initially seemed to portend a lessening of the Court's power."

This event is part of the Institute for Law and Politics' regular Lunch Discussion Series.

The lunch will be from 12:15pm - 1:15pm at the University of Minnesota Law School. (Click here for parking and directions).

The discussion is free and open to the public. Lunch is provided.
