The Institute for Justice and the George Mason Law Review present Judicial Engagement and the Role of Judges in Enforcing the Constitution March 22, 2012. Space is limited; the organizers ask for RSVPs by March 15, 2012.
The courts were meant to play an integral role in keeping legislators and executive branch officials within the proper bounds of their authority, but judges today are often unwilling or feel unable to enforce constitutional limits on government power.
The Institute for Justice and the George Mason Law Review invite you to a symposium that seeks to move beyond the imprecise and unhelpful rhetoric of so-called judicial activism and simply ask whether judges are properly engaged in their role of interpreting and applying the constitution.
