Originalism Seminar Podcast
Each summer, the Center brings together judges and constitutional law scholars for a deep dive into the origins of originalism, criticisms of originalism, permutations of originalism, originalism in practice, and other related topics. The Originalism Podcast curates content from our seminar programming, accompanied by question-and-answer sessions. And our podcast also features select audio tracks from our Visiting Scholars who often conduct originalism research.
