Legal Realism, Originalism, and the Problem of Natural Rights – presented by Professor Jud Campbell, Helen L. Crocker Faculty Scholar at Stanford Law School

The Founders' belief in natural rights underlies several parts of the U.S. Constitution. But that belief eroded in the early Twentieth Century with the rise of legal realism. This lecture will trace these developments and explore the challenges they pose to constitutional interpreters today.

After completing his J.D. at Stanford Law School, he clerked for Judge Diane S. Sykes on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, and for Judge José A. Cabranes on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. He then served as the Executive Director of the Stanford Constitutional Law Center.

The Oklahoma Animal Coalition is asking Oklahomans to turn off non-essential outdoor lights from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. during spring migration season (March 15-May 31). Excessive outdoor lighting confuses birds as they migrate through the state, separating them from their flocks, causing collisions with buildings and powerlines, and getting lost in dangerous environments.
