Justice Anthony Kennedy Visits Campus

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy came to the law school campus to introduce the inaugural speaker in the annual Anthony Kennedy lecture series.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy visited Lewis & Clark Law School this month to introduce the inaugural speaker in the annual Anthony Kennedy lecture series.  Conceived during Justice Kennedy’s visit to the law school a year ago, the first Anthony Kennedy lecture was part of an institution-wide celebration of Constitution day.  The inaugural lecture was given by Kathleen Sullivan, former dean of Stanford Law School and a renowned constitutional law scholar with many Supreme Court appearances to her credit. 

     While on campus Justice Kennedy visited classes and lectured as a guest.  The justice and Kathleen Sullivan also held a question and answer session attended by hundreds of students.  The question and answer session was lively and students described Justice Kennedy’s classroom lectures as engaging and informative.
