Lyin’ (Allison v US) and Tigers (Exxon) and Right to Bear Arms, Oh My! A Review of the 2007-08 Term of the United States Supreme Court

Professors Pam Karlan and Vik Amar will provide an overview of the highlights of the recently-concluded term at the Supreme Court with a particular emphasis on cases of interest to business lawyers.  It promises to be a lively, interesting and dare we say entertaining evening.

Professor Karlan, a productive scholar and award-winning teacher, is also the founding director of Stanford University Law School’s extraordinarily successful Supreme Court Litigation Clinic, where students litigate live cases before the Court. Professor Karlan is the co-author of three leading casebooks on constitutional law and related subjects, as well as more than four dozen scholarly articles. She is a widely recognized commentator on legal issues and is frequently featured on programs such as the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.

Blackmun of the Supreme Court of the United States.
