Dec. 17 CCJ Town Hall: Fighting for Equal Protection

In this town hall, Dr.

John C. Eastman, Founding Director of the Claremont Institute's Center for

Constitutional Jurisprudence, takes a look at the oral arguments from two of

the term’s most important cases—Fisher v.

University of Texas and Evenwel

v. Abbott.

In Fisher,

the Court considers whether affirmative action in higher education can be

maintained in its current form, or if it should finally be abandoned. The

petitioners in Evenwel challenge

the way most states calculate population when drawing political districts. 

Dr. Eastman is joined by Ilya

Shapiro, senior fellow in constitutional studies at the Cato Institute.
