In my inbox just now:

Instead of meeting at our regular class time and place, our class will attend the following event:

The Practice of Judging: Compartative Perspectives

Location: Ames Courtroom, Austin Hall

You are invited to a panel discussion on "The Practice of Judging: Comparative Perspectives" with Justice Stephen Breyer, Justice Antonin Scalia, The Right Honourable The Lord Rodger of Earlsferry, and The Right Honourable The Lord Scott of Foscote. The panel will be moderated by Elena Kagan. September 28, 2005, 11:00-12:15 in the Ames Courtroom, Austin Hall. All are welcome.

This is a required class activity, in lieu of our regular class meeting. The room will probably fill up, so it will be a good idea to arrive early to find a good seat.

To provide you with some background on comparative courts and judging, I'm preparing a required reading assignment. It will be available this afternoon -- both for pick-up and on iCommons. Tom Potter will e-mail you when it is ready.

It is unusual to have an opportunity to interact with Supreme Court justices. Doing the reading on comparative judicial review may help you think about questions you could ask the justices, if you have an opportunity to do that.

I look forward to seeing you at what is sure to be an interesting program!

Best wishes,
Prof. [Civil Procedure]
