Join us on Wednesday November 4 at 1pm for Repeal, Amend, or Punt?: State Legislative Responses to Unconstitutionality by Matt Bosworth of the Political Science Department.
The presentation, based on Bosworth’s sabbatical research from 2008-09, will discuss how state legislatures respond when a court declares their laws unconstitutional, especially focusing on Minnesota, Michigan and Wyoming court decisions and legislative responses since 1940. Bosworth will compare the results from the three states with previous research on the U.S. Congress and its responses to court rulings of unconstitutionality, and speculate on possible explanations for variation in responses.
The Athenaeum is located on the second floor of the WSU Library, bluff side. The event is free and open to the public.
