“A number of people here on the faculty of the law school got to thinking about the important institutional and leadership role of the California Supreme Court,” Frank said…. It’s an opportunity to move beyond individual cases and individual disputes and subject matters and take … a more holistic view of the institution … its role in the California judicial system and the American judicial system.”
UC-Berkeley School of Law professor Jesse Choper, who was among the professors who came up with the idea for the event, said the aim is to “shed some light, share some information [and] generate some ideas on what are considered to be five important areas of law that affect California and the country.”
