Losing Twice - Harms of Indifference in the Supreme Court with Emily Calhoun
October 2012
Losing Twice: Harms of Indifference in the Supreme Court with Emily Calhoun - LIVE IN DENVER
CBA-CLE Literary Lawyers Series
Program Description:
Professor Emily Calhoun, author of Losing Twice: Harms of Indifference in the Supreme Court (Oxford 2011), will lead a discussion of the second and generally unrecognized loss that Justices of the Supreme Court too often inflict on losing stakeholders in constitutional rights disputes. Professor Calhoun argues that the outrage generated by well-known decisions like Gonzales v. Carhart and Bowers v. Hardwick is a consequence of this second loss. Drawing on insights from the fields of literature, rhetoric, and philosophy, she will explain the significance of the second loss and suggest how Justices might avoid it. Professor Calhoun encourages participants to bring examples of U.S. Supreme Court constitutional rights decisions that they consider to be outrageous. These decisions will be used to explore Professor Calhoun's argument about losing twice in rights disputes.
