The symposium on the Supreme Court and the American Public, hosted by Chicago-Kent’s Institute on the Supreme Court of the United States (ISCOTUS) and the Chicago-Kent Law Review, will take place today and tomorrow (Nov. 15 & 16). Panelists will present on:

• How the Court uses technology;
• What the public hears when decisions are made;
• How Supreme Court Justices communicate with the public outside of their written opinions; and
• The role of journalists covering Court decisions.

Presenters include the Honorable Richard A. Posner (U.S. Court of Appeals 7th Circuit Chicago), Tom Goldstein (SCOTUSblog, Harvard and Stanford Supreme Court Clinics), Jeffrey Rosen (George Washington Law, The New Republic). Many of the papers presented will appear in a symposium issue of the Chicago-Kent Law Review.
