Is Popular Right?:

A Debate on Popular Constitutionalism and Judicial Review

 

On Wednesday, April 4, 2012, ACS hosted “Is Popular Right?: A Debate on Popular Constitutionalism and Judicial Review.” This event was the second in a series of four debates intended to identify common ground through exploration of the fault lines within the progressive community on important topics of the day. On April 4th, Deans Chemerinsky and Kramer discussed whether courts are and should be the ultimate arbiters of constitutional meaning and what outcomes flow from the answer to that question.
