FedSoc Lunch Talk & Q&A: Who Decides What the Constitution Means?

Date: Tuesday, September 29, 2026

Time: 12:00 PM

Venue: Madonna della Strada Chapel

City: Chicago, IL

Join the Federalist Society for a discussion on the shifting landscape of constitutional interpretation and judicial power, featuring Professor Haley Proctor of Notre Dame Law School. Professor Proctor, a former law clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, will examine how the Court’s understanding of its own authority has transformed across eras. The talk will explore the structural doctrine of judicial review, historical and modern approaches to constitutional interpretation, and what these jurisprudential shifts mean for the balance of power today. The presentation will be followed by an open audience Q&A, offering attendees the opportunity to ask questions regarding the Court's doctrine, modern jurisprudence, and insights into clerking at the highest levels of the federal judiciary. --- Event Details: https://lucommunity.luc.edu/rsvp?id=383185
