The Breyer-Fried Discussion: A Photo Essay
As we mentioned last week, on Friday we were delighted to attend “On Liberty: A conversation between Justice Stephen Breyer and Professor Charles Fried,” of Harvard Law School.
We were invited to this event by Georgetown Law Professor Neal Katyal, a legal academic celebrity (and former Breyer clerk). Professor Katyal did an excellent job as moderator of the discussion.
A more detailed report will follow in short order. For now, check out our pretty blurry pictures — after the jump.

The discussion took place in McDonough Hall, at the Georgetown University Law Center in downtown Washington.
The proceedings were kicked off by First Amendment scholar Ronald Collins, of the Supreme Court Fellows Alumni Association. Collins wagged his finger vigorously at the audience, declaring emphatically that he “did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.”

A massage right now sounds fantastic. Do “Kimberly, Kelly & Heather” take clients outside Georgetown Law? And do they make house calls?
Georgetown Law School: More religious than Sea-Tac airport.
(This should not be surprising. Although Georgetown accepts students of all faiths, the university does have Catholic and Jesuit origins.)
