July 28
Supreme Court Review: Analysis and Discussion of the 2008-09 Term
Pamela S. Karlan, Kenneth and Harle Montgomery Professor of Public Interest Law, Stanford Law School

Drawing on her experiences as a former Supreme Court clerk, constitutional law professor, and founding director of Stanford's Supreme Court Litigation Clinic, Professor Pamela Karlan provides her analysis of the 2008-09 Supreme Court term. The docket reviews matters of public importance, including the meaning and constitutionality of portions of the Voting Rights Act, the enforceability of collectively bargained arbitration clauses, the power of the FCC to punish "fleeting expletives," the role of the FDA in state law tort claims, the right of criminal defendants to "confront" the creators of forensic laboratory reports, and whether the attorney general and the FBI director can be held personally liable for the post-9/11 mistreatment of Muslims.

The Elizabeth J. Cabraser Summer Brown Bag Series, named in honor of a distinguished attorney and friend of the Society, strives to present a wide spectrum of topics and views. Opinions expressed by the speakers do not necessarily reflect those of the Society's Board and staff or its underwriters.

The Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center is the oldest legal services agency in the West. Founded in 1916, the organization has worked for the past 93 years to fight the cycle of poverty by ensuring that working poor people and their families receive the help they need to secure and maintain employment.

As the nation's ranks of working poor continue to grow during this prolonged recession, the Society remains deeply committed to its mission of keeping the promise of providing justice for all.
