On Tuesday, March 9, the Chief Justice of the United States, John G. Roberts, Jr., delivered the University of Alabama School of Law’s spring 2010 Albritton Lecture. He is the ninth U.S. Supreme Court Justice since 1996 to lecture at the School of Law. Following his remarks, Chief Justice Roberts fielded questions from Alabama’s law students for approximately 45 minutes.
The Albritton Lecture series was established by Judge William Harold Albritton III, a 1960 Alabama Law alumnus and Senior Judge on the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Alabama.
The Law School’s previous Albritton Lecture, in fall 2009, was presented by U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas. The Honorable Beverley McLachlin, who serves as Canada’s first female Supreme Court Chief Justice, delivered the spring 2009 Albritton Lecture.
Alabama Law’s forthcoming fall 2010 Albritton Lecturer will be The Honorable Robert S. French, Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia.
