Future

The Pomona Student Union (PSU) at Pomona College will host a
debate on “The Future of the U.S. Supreme Court” on Friday,
Sept. 16, at noon. During the event, three legal experts
will discuss U.S. Supreme Court nominee John Robert's
qualifications, legal philosophy and his potential impact on
the court for decades.
Panel members are:
-- David B. Cruz is a professor at USC's Gould School
of Law, with expertise in the area of sex, gender and the
law. He has served as a law clerk to Judge Edward R. Becker,
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, as a Bristow
Fellow at the Office of the Solicitor General, and managing
editor of the New York University Law Review.
-- John C. Eastman is a professor at Chapman
University School of Law, specializing in constitutional law
and legal history. He is also the director of the Center for
Constitutional Jurisprudence, a public interest law firm.
Eastman is a former law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Justice
Clarence Thomas and to Judge J. Michael Luttig, Court of
Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
-- Neil Richards, an associate professor at
Washington University School of Law in St. Louis, writes in
the areas of privacy law, First Amendment and legal history.
Richards clerked for the late Supreme Court Chief Justice
William H. Rehnquist and Judge Paul V. Niemeyer of the
United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
The panel discussion is the first event of the year for the
Pomona Student Union, a non-partisan student organization
dedicated to "raising the level of honest and open dialogue
on campus. By helping students become more knowledgeable and
better informed on the political and social issues that
confront our society, PSU aims to create informed citizens.
The debate is open to the public and will be held in the
Frank Dining Hall's Blue Room (260 E. Bonita Ave.,
Claremont). There is no charge to attend.
