New: New Talk

By Anne Skove, Esq.

Straight from our inbox, an announcement from a Common Good subsidary, New Talk, about this week's conversation:

"What is the Role of the Courts in Making Social Policy?"

We want a nickel every time someone utters the phrase "activist judge!" We want a dime every time someone types "legislating from the bench!"

Panelists include Walter Dellinger; Michael Traynor, ALI President; Lord Hoffmann, Lord of Appeal in Ordinary; Ted Frank; Bob Joffee of Cravath, Swaine & Moore, LLP; Stuart Taylor of the National Journal; and Philip K. Howard, Common Good and New Talk founder. Moderator is Gillian Hadfield, a professor from USC (the one in California).
