Public Law conference to probe "The Law of Politics" Oct. 11-12

Are the provisions of the Constitution that frame our politics appropriate for today? Do the courts help or hinder politics when they take up politically charged questions? Is legal deliberation the right model for political deliberation? These are some of the questions that will be probed during the Program in Public Law's upcoming conference: "The Law of Politics," Oct. 11 and 12 at the Law School. As the opening event of the conference, Sandy Levinson T'62, a professor of law at the University of Texas-Austin, will give the annual Currie Lecture, "Bush v. Gore and the French Revolution: A Tentative List of Some Early Lessons." For more information about the conference, visit www.law.duke.edu/publiclaw.
