SUMMARY:The Turn to Tradition in American Law and Culture
DESCRIPTION:The Turn to Tradition in American Law and Culture\na panel discussion \n  \nJenner & Block Law Offices (353 N Clark St\, Chicago\, IL 60654) \nWednesday\, April 22 \n5:00pm Cocktail and Hors d’Oeuvres  |   6:00 Dialogue and Q&A   |   7:30 End  \nRegister Below \nThis American moment is one of alienation and dislocation. In personal relations\, an “epidemic of loneliness” has emerged as in-person friendships dwindle. Politically and morally\, what once seemed to be long-held convictions seem suddenly up for debate. Is there still a “We the People\,” as the Constitution attests? Does anything still hold this people together? \nIt is at this moment that “tradition” has made a return. Whether in reference to legal interpretation\, moral frameworks\, or even the person-to-person connections that bind one to another\, tradition is having a moment. From the New York Times to the Supreme Court to the Hallmark Christmas movie\, tradition is now being presented as a cure for what ails us. \nBut what is tradition? Is it something that ought to be overcome or stewarded? Is it something static\, or can it develop? What status should long-held traditions hold in the interpretation of the law? What legal status do religious traditions have\, and what can development in religious tradition tell us about development of legal tradition? \nIn this conversation among cutting edge legal and philosophical minds\, Marc DeGirolami will lay out some major themes of his new book The Constitution of Practice: On Law and Tradition. Richard W. Garnett and Jennifer Newsome Martin will join him in conversation on the nature of tradition\, law\, and religion. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the Catholic Lawyers Guild and Jenner & Block Law Office.
