The Federalist Society's National Lawyers Convention is underway in Washington. The theme is "The Jurisprudence and Legacy of Justice Scalia." Regrettably, I am not able to attend this year. Duty calls.
Live streams of some of the panels and links to video of concluded panels are available at the FedSoc Blog. The criminal law panel is at 3:30 EST today. Not sure if it will be live streamed. Justice Thomas is the dinner speaker at 7:00 EST. Update: They are live streaming the Separation of Powers panel instead.
Of course, there is much more to the convention than the presentations, interesting as they are. Conversations in the hallways and at the events with people I only see "face-to-face" once a year are just as valuable. I am sure that the question of who will be the next Attorney General is a hot topic, and the question of who will be nominated as the successor to Justice Scalia is even hotter.
