Event description

How do we think about the role of the American judiciary in general, and the US Supreme Court in particular, in this current moment of authoritarian threat? How has the rule of law been both subverted and weaponized in ways that have brought us to this political moment?

Please join Aziz Huq, Farah Peterson, and Patricia Williams for a discussion that situates the current judicial moment in historical and contemporary context, in order to think through the ideals and pragmatics involved in fighting for a just society while reckoning with the power and legacies of the higher judiciary in the United States.

Kaushik Sunder Rajan will moderate, and a reception will follow the event.


Presented by 3CT and the Pozen Family Center for Human RightsThis event is part of a series of Theorizing the Present events on the 2024 US elections.

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is recommended, but does not guarantee entry, as capacity is limited and seats are available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please email us at ccct@uchicago.edu if you require any accommodations to enable your full participation.
