The Supreme Court with Walter Bossert

Get a deeper understanding of the Court that has influenced almost every aspect of American life for over 200 years when Lincoln resident Walter Bossert presents “The Supreme Court.”   First you’ll watch a video by C-Span including interviews with 11 justices about the role, traditions, and history of the Court and a tour the Supreme Court building. 

Following the video, Mr. Bossert will discuss the Supreme Court case, Central Hudson v. PSC (1980), a seminal case on commercial freedom of speech. For that case, Mr. Bossert successfully organized and led a three man team for a favorable 8 to 1 decision, and was a co-author of the winning brief. Questions will be welcomed after the discussion. The program is co-sponsored by the COA and the Lincoln Public Library.
