Originalism and Its Discontents
Professor William Marshall
William Rand Kenan Jr. Distinguished Professor of Law at UNC Chapel Hill
Professor Marshall will describe the Supreme Court's shift toward a so-called originalist
approach to Constitutional interpretation. His lecture will then ask and analyze three related
questions. A) Is originalism consistent with the Framers own understanding of Constitutional
interpretation? B) What results would originalism lead to – if consistently applied? C) Is the
Supreme Court actually using an originalist understanding to decide key cases?
