SUMMARY:The Turn to Tradition in American Law and Culture
DESCRIPTION:The Turn to Tradition in American Law and Culture\na panel discussion \nJenner & Block Law Offices (353 N Clark St\, Chicago\, IL 60654) \nWednesday\, April 22 \nCLE Credit: Attorneys may receive one hour of general CLE meeting credit for attending the entire program. To attain credit\, please sign up with your full name\, email\, and ARDC number at the registration table. \n  \nIndividual tickets – $75 | Host Committee – $600 (includes 6 tickets) | A limited number of complimentary tickets are reserved for current students. Contact Margaux Taffet (mtaffet@lumenchristi.org) for more info. \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\, the Decalogue Society of Lawyers\, and Jenner & Block Law Office.

SUMMARY:What Does Virtue Have to Do with the Law?
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER BELOW\n*Note: The time has moved from 5:30 to starting at 6:00 p.m. and is in Room I of the University of Chicago Law School \n6:00 – Symposium | 7:30 – 7:45 Q & A | 7:45 Wine & Cheese Reception \nThis event is primarily intended for current University of Chicago students\, faculty\, and staff. It is open to the general public. Please contact William Hurley (whurley@lumenchristi.org) for any questions. \nThis project is made possible through the support of In Lumine Tuo: Expanding and Sustaining the Catholic Intellectual Tradition Nationwide (grant #63614) from the John Templeton Foundation and the generous support of our donors. \nThe University of Chicago chapter of the St. Thomas More Society is co-sponsoring this event. \nThe University of Chicago Law School Federalist Society is co-sponsoring this event. \n \nDescription:\nThe American experiment depends on the people holding something in common. But what was once taken for granted is now up for debate\, as all sorts of norms and established beliefs are under attack. \nIs this the result of an improper intrusion of politics and morality into the legal realm? Should the law aspire to be morally naked? Or does the law depend upon a particular set of moral and political virtues?  \nWhat makes for a good constitutional judge? Are personal and professional virtues necessary to good judgment? Or do they inhibit it? \nIs thinking in these terms helpful to address alienation\, lack of trust\, and institutional collapse? Or does it distract from the real issue? \nIn this spirited conversation\, law faculty from a number of philosophical positions will come together to discuss the relationship between law\, politics\, tradition\, and virtue. \nSchedule:\nRoom I of the University of Chicago Law School \n\n6:00pm – Event Begins – Garnett Frames and Opens with Question\n6:05pm – 6:20pm – DeGirolami Response\n6:20pm – 6:30pm – Miller Response\n6:35 pm – 6:45pm – Pacold Response\n6:50 pm – 7:00pm – Bray Response\n7:00pm – 7:30pm – Moderated Conversation\n7:30pm – 7:45pm – Audience Q&A\n7:45pm – End + Wine and Cheese Reception

SUMMARY:Being Human in the Digital Age: A Discussion
DESCRIPTION:The dominance of technology in our lives and the precipitous rise of artificial intelligence in the last few years has raised profound questions. We are being asked to think more deeply about what it means to be human\, how we should (and whether we can) live with our creations\, and what kind of life we can share together. How should we understand these new technologies? How does our use of digital technology form us? Is it changing society in fundamental ways? How should we think about the religious aspirations and dimensions of this new technology?  In this webinar\, professor of theology Jared Ortiz will interview philosopher Anton Barba-Kay about his new book\, A Web of Our Own Making: The Nature of Digital Formation.  \nThis event is being cosponsored by the COLLIS Institute for Catholic Thought and Culture\, the Saint Benedict Institute\, Fons Vitae at Duke Divinity School\, the Kateri Institute\, the Harvard Catholic Forum\, and the St. Kateri Institute.  \nTo register for the event please click here.  \nFor more information contact Geoffrey Zokal at gzokal@lumenchristi.org \nThis projects is made possible through the support of In Lumine Tuo: Expanding and Sustaining the Catholic Intellectual Tradition Nationwide (grant #63614) from the John Templeton Foundation and the generous support of our donors.
