Event Update

We've got a room number and some more info about this upcoming event...
"Originalism and Formalism in Criminal Procedure: The Triumph of Justice Scalia, the Unlikely Friend of Criminal Defendants?"

In two recent lines of cases, governing the admissibility of hearsay in criminal trials and judicial fact-finding at sentencing, Justice Scalia has driven major new pro-defendant doctrines in criminal procedure. Though he is normally thought of as hostile to criminal defendants, he justifies these doctrines based on originalism and formalism. What do these doctrines mean? To what extent has the rest of the Court bought into them? And are these developments that those sympathetic to Federalist Society principles should embrace?
Speech: Stephanos Bibas.
