Join Us In San Francisco For Our 'Better Know A Circuit' Event
Request your RSVP now.
Most of the time, the final word on federal law doesn’t come from the Supreme Court. It comes from the U.S. Court of Appeals in your region of the country. The Supreme Court takes a small number of cases each year. It’s the circuit courts which do the bulk of the adjudicating on federal issues. Donald Trump seems to be learning this the hard way.
Given that the whole country now knows just how important the circuit courts are, we’re going to kick off our “Better Know A Circuit” event series with the hottest Court of Appeals in the land: the Ninth Circuit.
The Ninth Circuit is the largest circuit in the country. It has a reputation for being progressive, even though its chief is a well-known conservative. The president has threatened to break it up. This seems like a good time to know more about the Ninth. Our panel will discuss how the court functions, some of the key judges on the circuit, and which cases the Ninth Circuit is deciding today that the Supreme Court might take a look at tomorrow.
When: June 13th, 6:00-8:30 pm
Where: UC Hastings College of the Law, 200 McAllister Street, San Francisco, CA
