Join Judge Paul Grimm, the David F. Levi Professor of the Practice of Law and Director of the Bolch Judicial Institute, for a conversation with Professor Gerald Postema about the Rule of Law - how it's defined, how it has developed through history, and the threats it faces today, in our country and abroad. Professor Postema is an emeritus professor of philosophy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the author of numerous books and articles on the rule of law and the moral, ethical, and philosophical dimensions of law and democracy. His most recent book is Law's Rule: The Nature, Value, and Viability of the Rule of Law (Oxford University Press, 2022). He is a former Guggenheim Fellow, Rockefeller Fellow (Bellagio), Medlin Fellow (National Humanities Center), Fellow of the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Studies, and Visiting Fellow at the European University Institute (Florence). Lunch will be provided on a first come first served basis. Sponsored by the Bolch Judicial Institute. Contact Lora Beth Farmer at lora.farmer@law.duke.edu if you have any questions.
