The Ira C. Rothgerber Jr. Conference on Constitutional Law is an annual Byron R. White Center event that brings scholars and lawyers from across the nation to the University of Colorado Law School to discuss current Constitutional law issue. Topics have included the future of national injunctions, listeners' First Amendment rights and litigation strategies that promote Constitutional change. The proposed topic of the conference this year will be state responses to the Supreme Court's modern jurisprudence and the future legitimacy of the Court. Defects in the judicial appointment process, politically-charged jurisprudence, and the disruption of longstanding rights have eroded some Americans' faith in the nation's highest court. With the public trust in the Court greatly diminishing, can and should state courts step into the breach? If they do, how will this alter notions of federalism, judicial legitimacy, and democracy? The keynote will be followed by separate panels, with an emphasis on enfranchisement, reproductive justice, and civil rights.
