The John Marshall Law School Celebrates 200th Anniversary of Marbury Case With Judicial Review Symposium
To commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Marbury v. Madison decision by the United States Supreme Court, The John Marshall Law School is hosting an Oct. 3 symposium, "Marbury v. Madison and Judicial Review: Legitimacy, Tyranny and Democracy," featuring top Constitutional scholars.
The Braun Endowed Lecture will be given from 1 to 5 p.m. at the law school, 315 S. Plymouth Ct., Chicago. John Marshall Professor Samuel Olken is hosting the symposium, which coordinates with the opening of the next U.S. Supreme Court session.
Marbury v. Madison was decided in 1803 in a decision that is said to have set the fundamental principles of our judicial system. Led by Chief Justice John Marshall, the court's ruling set up judicial review, the independence of the judiciary and the rule of law. The case also underscores the existence of the separation of powers and the validity of the judiciary branch of government.
The symposium will be presented in two sections. "Marbury v. Madison in Historical Perspective" will be discussed by Professor William E. Nelson, the Edward Weinfield Professor of Law at New York University School of Law; Professor Larry D. Kramer, the Samuel Tilden Professor of Law, also at NYU, and Professor Olken.
"Marbury's Legacy: Reflections on Judicial Review" will be offered by Professor Mark V. Tushnet, the Carmack Waterhouse Professor of Constitutional Law at Georgetown University Law Center; Professor Louis Michael Seidman, also of Georgetown; Thomas W. Merrill of Columbia University School of Law; and Professor Walter J. Kendall III of The John Marshall Law School.
