Showcase Panel I: Roundtable: Originalism on the Ground

Published: Nov. 17, 2023, 5:40 p.m.

b'Trying to sort out what originalism means in practice requires integrating insights from all levels of the legal system, from academicians (both legal and historical), lawyers (from private practice, public interest, business, and government), and the bench (both trial and appellate and both state and federal). In this Roundtable, participants representing many of those elements of the legal culture offer insights on the current state of originalism in legal practice. Is there an identifiable "legal culture" to which originalism can be applied? If so, what should lawyers be doing that they are not doing? What should academics be doing that they are not doing? What should judges be doing that they are not doing?
