Conference for the Federal Judiciary in Honor of the Bicentennial of the Bill of Rights / CONFERENCE FOR THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY IN HONOR OF THE BICENTENNIAL OF THE BILL OF RIGHTS October 20-23, 1991 BIOGRAPHICAL AND RELATED MATERIALS ,' SUMMARY OF CONTENTS ABOUT THE JUDICIAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED STATES COMMITIEE ON THE BICENTENNIAL OF THE CONSTITUTION THE STUDENT VOLUNTEERS THE BIOGRAPHIES AND OBSERVATIONS OF SPEAKERS 2 ABOUT THE JUDICIAL CONFERENCE OF THE UNITED STATES COMMI1TEE ON THE BICENTENNIAL OF THE CONSTITUTION In 1985, the Judicial Conference of the United States created the Committee on the Bicentennial of the Constitution. Shortly thereafter, Chief Justice Warren E. Burger appointed the initial members of the Committee. Several Committee members have served from its inception; others were appointed by Chief Justice Rehnquist when the Judicial Conference Committees were reconstituted in 1987. Since 1985 the Committee has engaged in a wide variety of projects designed to foster judicial and public education on the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Video tapes depicting trials on major constitutional issues have been distributed to public television stations, courthouses, and schools nationwide. The Committee co-sponsored the international Appellate Judges Conference in Washington in 1990, attended by hundreds of judges from throughout the world, showcasing the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights. The Committee has published brochures on the Constitution and Bill of Rights and distributed millions of copies to school children around the nation, as well as jurors and naturalized citizens, and has bestowed grants and stipends for many research and education projects. The Committee commissioned the production of bronze plaques containing the full text of the Bill of Rights, and has presented over 200 of those plaques to courthouses, universities, libraries, legislatures, and other institutions around the world. Such a Bill of Rights Plaque was presented to the Institute of Bill of. Rights Law of the College of William and Mary, Marshall-Wythe School of Law, and may be seen on display in the inner courtyard at the law school. This Bill of Rights Bicentennial Conference, the largest gathering of Article III judges in the history of the nation, is a fitting climax to the Committee's work. 3 THE STUDENT VOLUNTEERS The Institute of Bill of Rights Law at the College of William and Mary, Marshall-Wythe School of Law, is proud and honored to serve as the host institution for this Conference for the Federal Judiciary in Honor of the Bicentennial of the Bill of Rights. We are especially pleased that over 200 of our law students have volunteered to assist with the conference, joining the scores of college faculty members, administrators, and staff that are working to host this event.

Judge Alaimo attended the public schools of Jamestown, New York, graduating in 1937. He received a B.A. from Ohio Northern University in the summer of 1940. Following military service during World War IT, he attended Emory University School of Law in Atlanta, from which he graduated in June of 1948. He was admitted to the Georgia and Ohio bars.

PROFESSOR ANITA L. ALLEN H the Supreme Court has authority only within the "four corners" of the Constitution, then the Supreme Court has frequently erred for good. It is unclear how the judiciary could take the Constitution seriously if appellate review did not seek to bring about recognition and protection of individual rights befitting the liberal society so conceived.

AL TIMARI I have always believed that a major difference between our Constitution and those that speak of justice in bold terms, but fail to provide it in reality, is that our Constitution provides for a judicial branch that is charged with the task of safeguarding individuals' rights, be they citizens or not.

BERGER The only way to cure the disease - what the Powell Committee dubbed the unsatisfactory state of death penalty administration - is to kill the patient: the penalty itself.

Connecticut Law Review. 459. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/law_review/459 CONNECTICUT LAW REVIEW VOLUME 52 FEBRUARY 2021 NUMBER 4 Essay The Emerging Genre of The Constitution: Kent Newmyer and the Heroic Age MARY SARAH BILDER In written celebration of Kent Newmyer’s intellectual and collegial influence, this Essay argues that the written constitution was an emerging genre in 1787-1789. Discussions of the Constitution and constitutional interpretation often rest on a set of assumptions about the Constitution that arose in the years and decades after the Constitutional Convention. The most significant one involves the belief that a fixed written document was drafted in 1787 intended in our modern sense as A Constitution. This fundamental assumption is historically inaccurate. The following reflections of a constitutionalist first lay out the argument for considering the Constitution as an emerging genre and then turn to Kent Newmyer’s important influence. The Essay argues that the constitution as a system or frame of government and the instrument were not quite one and the same. This distinction helps to make sense of ten puzzling aspects of the framing era. 1263 The Emerging Genre of The Constitution: Kent Newmyer and the Heroic Age MARY SARAH BILDER * In written celebration of Kent Newmyer’s intellectual and collegial influence, this Essay argues that the written constitution was an emerging genre in 1787-1789.

  • Keep Reading Wilson As a Justice
    Wilson as a Justice MAEVA MARCUS* ABSTRACT James Wilson, a founding father of great intellect and promise, never ful®lled his potential as a Justice. This paper explores his experience on the Supreme Court and the reasons that led to his failure to achieve the distinction that was expected of him. James Wilson very much wanted to be the ®rst Chief Justice.1 But when George Washington denied him that honor and nominated him to be an Associate Justice, he accepted and threw himself into the work with characteristic industry.2 Other than a title and $500 more in annual salary3 (Wilson probably wanted this more than anything else), Wilson lost little. Life as an Associate Justice would be no different from life as the Chief. A Justice occupied one of the most exalted positions in the new government and was paid more than any other federal em- ployee, except the President and the Vice-President.4 Nominations were the sub- ject of ®erce competition.5 But in 1789 no one knew exactly what that job would entail. This paper gives the reader some idea of what a Justice, and speci®cally James Wilson, did in the 1790s.6 Wilson spent more of his time on the bench of circuit courts than he did on the Supreme Court bench; thus, this paper will focus signi®- cantly on his circuit court activities.7 And Wilson performed his circuit court * Currently Director of the Institute for Constitutional History at the New-York Historical Society and Research Professor at the George Washington University Law School and General Editor of the Oliver Wendell Holmes Devise History of the Supreme Court of the United States, Maeva Marcus previously edited The Documentary History of the Supreme Court of the United States, 1789-1800, an eight-volume series completed in 2006.
