Law and Media Program Hosts Greenhouse, Lewis
The Law and Media Program (LAMP) hosted a full slate of speakers this past semester, initiating a LAMP Lunch Series and hosting special lectures by legendary journalists Anthony Lewis and Linda Greenhouse 78 MSL. Greenhouse, Knight Distinguished Journalist in Residence at YLS and former New York Times Supreme Court reporter, spoke about the Supreme Court during a lecture held (quite fittingly) on the first Monday in October. The lecture was co-sponsored by the American Constitution Society and the Arthur Liman Public Interest Program.
Greenhouse spoke about the mood of the Court as it entered its new session, and about specific cases she sees as taking the measure of the Roberts Court.
Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Anthony Lewis spoke to students and faculty during a lunchtime lecture in September. Lewis discussed his most recent book, Freedom for the Thought That We Hate: A Biography of the First Amendment. In a discussion and subsequent question-and-answer session full of personal anecdotes, Lewis spoke about the importance of freedom of the press and the need for more investigative reporting. Were suffocating in opinion in this country, Lewis said. I believe in freedom of opinion, but we need facts.
