Details

This event features a presentation by two distinguished speakers: Dr. Eric T. Kasper and Dr. Troy A. Kozma. As authors of the upcoming book, The Supreme Court and the Philosopher: How John Stuart Mill Shaped US Free Speech Protections, they bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the discussion.

The presentation will delve into how the modern U.S. Supreme Court has increasingly embraced a perspective on the constitutional right to freedom of expression that aligns with classical liberalism. This viewpoint closely mirrors the reasoning of John Stuart Mill as articulated in his seminal work, "On Liberty."

This event is an opportunity for anyone interested in constitutional law, the philosophy of law, or the workings of the Supreme Court. It's especially relevant for students, faculty, and community members with an interest in civil liberties.

We look forward to welcoming you to an evening of rich discussion and learning.
