Hayek Lecture

Judge Eric Murphy, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, will be giving this year’s lecture. The topic of the lecture “Hayek and The Importance of Levels of Generality in Constitutional Interpretation”, Judge Murphy will discuss why choosing the right “level of generality” at which to identify the legal rules arising from a constitutional text plays a critical (yet underappreciated) role in judicial decision-making. And he will assess how Hayek might have confronted this problem.

There will be a reception to follow after the lecture.
