Concerned Citizens of Laguna Woods Village present:
Returning for the 6th year!
UCI Law School founding Dean
ERWIN CHEMERINSKY
The Supreme Court: Another *cough* Amazing Year.
Can you explain how some Supreme Court cases affect more people than most actions by Congress? How appointments change its precedents? Or, thus, how elections turn the Court’s direction?
Its 2012-13 term was indeed “amazing”. In late June, as frenzied media told us, its 5 conservatives gutted the Voting Rights Act, and left affirmative action in university admissions barely still alive. But Justice Kennedy joined the 4 moderates to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act. And an odd group (Roberts, Scalia, Ginsburg, Breyer and Kagan) found a narrow way to duck Prop. 8’s “merits” (no standing), thereby restoring same-sex marriage in Calif.
Dean Chemerinsky will analyze those and lower profile rulings that’ll impact even more lives, and that extended trends he explained in prior talks: Limiting class actions, jury trials and relief rules for corporate fraud and unfair practice, harmful pharmaceuticals, workplace discrimination, other “closed courthouse
doors” in government spying cases, defining police power to search vs. privacy, new technology, etc.
Folks at prior Chemerinsky talks said:
“Insightful, frank, brilliant, clear to non-lawyers, warm wit.” “Just take my word,” chimes in Jonathan Adler, “Don’t miss him!”
Erwin Chemerinsky, a leading scholar, teacher of judges as well as students, litigator in the Supreme Court and lower courts, and constitutional law expert, often analyzes its cases and trends in print and on the air. Author of 6 books and over 100 articles for scholars and law students, many for lay readers too, at his talk here in 2011 he signed for over 100 of
us his new “The Conservative Assault on the Constitution.”
He often testifies to legislative committees, including Senate hearings to confirm now-Justice Samuel Alito. His amazingly prolific public service includes chairing the L.A. City Charter Reform Commission. A Harvard Law School graduate, he taught law at USC for 21 years, then Duke, and moved to Irvine in 2008 to found UCI Law School.

Will it/can it be later put online? After browsing the TED talks this week, the quality of Mr. Chemerinski’s content would certainly attract equal or greater audience.
I don’t think that there are any plans to put it on video.
