Chief Justice and Hoosier native John Roberts might be too controversial for Butler University, but he's apparently just fine for Indiana University. On April 7, he'll become the third justice -- but the first chief justice -- to give the annual James P. White Lecture on Legal Education:
Attendance at the lecture is by invitation only. There will be limited overflow seating in room 385 of Inlow Hall at 530 West New York Street and a reception in the Conour Atrium after the lecture. The lecture will also be Webcast live through a link on the law school's Web site at indylaw.indiana.edu.
Cool, very cool; I wish more things like this were available through live Webcasts. And I hope he discusses something we can all argue about -- such as original intent vs. literalism or whether "states' rights" is still a valid concept -- rather than just continuing his sniping feud with Barack Obama.
