The panel will...

   - Examine the work product of the first year of the Roberts Court,
   especially with regard to:
      - Presidential power and the war on terror
      - Civil rights - including abortion, religious freedom, and free
      speech
      - Federal-state relations - including investment tax credits,
      probate exceptions, the scope of environmental laws, and assisted suicide
      - Criminal procedure - including new skepticism about the
      exclusionary rule, a renewed death penalty debate, and the challenge to
      lethal injections
      - Law and the political process - including gerrymandering and
      campaign finance
      - Business cases - including civil RICO, retaliation cases, and
      patent injunctions
   - Reflect on the confirmation process and the interpretative
   approaches of the new justices;
   - Consider the cases already headed for the Court next term, including
   the review of the federal partial-birth abortion ban, racial preferences in
   K - 12, and possible new limits on punitive damages.

These and related topics will be covered in an active format that involves
formal presentations as well as interaction among a distinguished panel of
constitutionalists, veteran Supreme Court journalists serving as symposium
interlocutors, and Pepperdine School of Law faculty respondents.
