College of Law Celebrates Constitution Day with Lecture on the Roberts Court
The University of Cincinnati College of Law will host Jeffrey Rosen, professor of law at George Washington University, as part of its annual Constitution Day celebration. Professor Rosen will present The Future of Privacy and Free Speech on the Roberts Court at the lecture, which begins at 12:15 p.m. in Room 114 of the law school. A reception in the atrium will follow the program.
About the Lecture
This term, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear an important case about whether the police can track citizens 24/7 by planting hidden GPS devices on cars without a warrant. And although the Roberts Court has been extremely active in defending free speech, it has not yet confronted the challenges of a world where tracking technologies can record all movements, on and off line, and where Google and Facebook have more power over free speech and privacy than any king, president, or Supreme Court justice. In this Constitution Day talk, Professor Jeffrey Rosen will describe some of the cases involving the future of technology and the Constitution that the Supreme Court will soon confront and will speculate about how the various Justices might respond.
What is Constitution Day
Constitution Day, officially the 17th of September, is a national celebration commemorating the signing of Americas most fundamental document. The law schools Constitution Day lecture is made possible through the generous support of the Alfred B. Katz Constitution Day fund in memory of Alfred B. Katz.
