book), Justice Moore discussed the differences between the U.S. Supreme Court
and Hollywood’s treatment of African-Americans through select films and Supreme
Court opinions over the past hundred years.The next Section meeting will be October 4, 2017 with the presentation of the David G. Sills award to Dean Chemerinsky, who also will be speaking, of course, previewing SCOTUS's upcoming term with form Dean John Eastman.
