We hear that The Chicago Lawyers' Chapter of the Federalist Society is hosting a debate on the renewal of the USA PATRIOT Act on Tuesday, June 21. The panel consists of Patrick Fitzgerald, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois; Professor Richard Epstein of the University of Chicago Law School; and Professor Geoffrey Stone of the University of Chicago Law School. The panel will provide a diverse array of views on the Act.
One does not need to be a Federalist Society member -- or sympathizer -- to attend--people of all political persuasions are welcome.
The event is being held at the Chicago Athletic Association, 12 South Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Cocktails (cash bar) begin at 5:30 pm, dinner is at 6:00 pm, and the debate begins at 7:00 pm. RSVP to Christopher Rohrbacher at (312) 407-0940 or
