Spring Symposium: February 2019


“The Jurisprudence of Justice Anthony M. Kennedy:
Four Decades of Influence”

October 4, 2018

Update: Judge Kavanaugh will no longer be attending this symposium. The Journal remains excited about the speakers who will attend and we hope this will be a successful scholarly event focused on the jurisprudence of Justice Kennedy.

On Friday February 1, 2019, U.C. Hastings and its flagship law journal will sponsor an all-day symposium on its campus in San Francisco on the Jurisprudence of Justice Kennedy. This timely symposium has been in the planning stages since March 2018.

— Due Process rights, including LGBT rights and same-sex discrimination.
