Natural Law Jurisprudence Seminar

Saturday, September 23
12:00 AM MT
Law School Conference Center

A two-day seminar on Natural Law Jurisprudence with renowned scholar Hadley Arkes is the founder and director of the James Wilson Institute on Natural Rights & the American Founding in Washington, D.C.

Law Students and young lawyers who are interested in attending should email wheatley_institution@byu.edu for more information.

In a series of books and articles dating from the mid-1980s, Arkes has written on a priori moral principles and advocated for their impact on constitutional interpretation. He has also dealt with their relation to constitutional jurisprudence and natural law, and their challenge to moral relativism. His works draw on political philosophers from Aristotle through the U.S. Founding Fathers, Lincoln, and contemporary authors and jurists.
