Judge Williams on the American Constitution and Liberal Democracy (Memorial Symposium for Judge Stephen F. Williams)

Subscribe to Gray MattersSubscribe

On September 17, 2021, the Gray Center hosted an event in memory of Judge Stephen F. Williams: a conference for new papers written for a symposium on his enormous legacy in law and liberty. We are grateful to our authors, who discussed their newly completed papers at this event, hosted at the Decatur House in Washington, D.C., and followed by a reception where we were all able to continue the conversation.

The second panel looked at Judge Williams’s contributions in areas related to the American Constitution and liberal democracy. It featured a panel discussion of new research papers by Antonin Scalia Law School’s Michael Greve, Harvard Law School’s Stephen Sachs, and Nathaniel Zelinsky of Hogan Lovells LLP, and was moderated by Gray Center Co-Executive Director Adam White.

Michael Greve’s paper is available at: https://administrativestate.gmu.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2021/09/Greve-So-Close-And-Yet-So-Far-Away.pdf
