We’re pleased to share the final
set of essays resulting from our year-long LevinsonFest 2022. But
first, I have to share my deep appreciation to Richard Albert for the
opportunity to be involved in LevinsonFest and to the many people who came
together to bring it to life.
We are indebted to Ward
Farnsworth for initiating this series, Richard Albert for leading every aspect
of it, Trish Mair for bringing it to fruition, our panelists for spurring new
debates and Jack Balkin for continuing them here, and the many participants who
joined us—some for every event!—to make this the vibrant community discussion
we hoped it would be. Most of all, of course, we are indebted to Sandy
Levinson, whose scholarship, intellectual curiosity, and generosity of spirit
are the galvanizing force behind this series and so many thought-provoking
discussions in constitutional law.
The final LevinsonFest roundtable
on constitutional crises includes essays from Jack Balkin (Yale
University), Kim Lane Scheppele (Princeton University), and Keith
Whittington (Princeton University). It closes with a response from Sandy
Levinson (University of Texas at Austin).
The event discussion is also
available on the Constitutional Crises
panel
webpage. We hope you enjoy the discussions and thank you for your
involvement over the last year!
