About the Forum

Join us at Fordham Law School for this one-day forum.

In recognition of America’s 250th anniversary, Fordham Law’s Center for Judicial Events & Clerkships (CJEC) is hosting a forum on the American Experiment at 250, with a focus on the role of the judiciary.

The forum will:

Feature four panels including active and retired judges, academics, and practitioners, focusing on different aspects such as Supreme Court cases which redefined American life, the rule of law and democracy, civic engagement, and the impacts of current jurisprudence.
Close with the CJEC’s 2026 Distinguished Jurist in Residence – Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan (D.C. Cir.) - in a fireside chat with our Dean – Joseph Landau.

Registration will open in January 2026.
