Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito Will Speak at Fowler School of Law in February

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has confirmed that he will visit Chapman University’s Dale E. Fowler School of Law in 2017 to give the keynote speech at the
Chapman Law Review’s
Annual Symposium.  The symposium, to be held from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on February 10, 2017 in Kennedy Hall on the Chapman campus, will have as its theme “The Future of the Legal Profession.”

Tickets will be available to the public.  The on-sale date and prices will be announced this fall.

Lochner vs. New York
trial.
