BRISTOL, R.I., April 4, 2008 – On Monday, April 7, Associate Justice Antonin G. Scalia of the U.S. Supreme Court will spend a day at the Roger Williams University School of Law, meeting with student leaders, faculty and alumni, as well as members of the state bar and judiciary, participating in a question-and-answer session with students—even teaching a full Constitutional Law class.
Justice Scalia’s visit marks the latest highlight in an extraordinary “Supreme Semester” of Court-related events at the School of Law, offering students no fewer than three rare opportunities to interact with justices of the high Court (including Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., in February, and Associate Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr., later this month, in addition to Justice Scalia).
As part of his visit, Justice Scalia will host a Q&A session with approximately 175 law students who earned entry to the event via a lottery system. Members of the media are encouraged to attend this portion of his visit only—scheduled from 2 to 3 p.m.
