Ask Americans what they think the First Amendment protects, and they will tell you “freedom of speech.”  But few will think of the amendment’s third protection: “freedom of assembly.” In his provocative new book, “Liberty’s Refuge, The Forgotten Freedom of Assembly,” Washington University School of Law professor John Inazu implores Americans to keep in mind the importance of this protection.

Join the Federalist Society and AEI for a panel discussion of John Yoo and Julian Ku's new book, where Martin Flaherty of the Fordham University School of Law and Jeremy Rabkin of the George Mason University School of Law will join the authors in a discussion of their proposals and whether they are faithful to our Constitution, our history and our international law obligations.

At this AEI event, panelists will discuss the practical potential and wisdom of further changes to patent law designed to promote innovation and entrepreneurial vigor in the United States.

Please join us for a lively discussion about Jack Goldsmith's new book, "Power and Constraint: The Accountable Presidency after 9/11," hosted by AEI and the Federalist Society.

At this event, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia will give opening remarks, and Leon R. Kass (Madden-Jewett Chair, AEI), Jeremy A. Rabkin (Professor, George Mason University School of Law), and Christopher Demuth (D.C. Searle Senior Fellow, AEI) will provide further insight into the work of Walter Berns.

In mid-September 2011, as part of AEI’s Program on American Citizenship, we celebrated Constitution Day. In conjunction with that remembrance, we thought it appropriate to honor our longtime colleague and friend Walter Berns with a panel dedicated to discussing his scholarship on the Constitution and the American regime it supports.
