The Dunwody Distinguished Lecture in Law Series

Welcome To Our 2013 Dunwody Distinguished Lecturer
Professor Randy E. Barnett

Who Won the Obamacare Case (and Why Did So Many Law Professors Miss the Boat)?

Randy BarnettOn March 21 and 22, the Florida Law Review will welcome Professor Randy E. Barnett as the Dunwody Distinguished Lecturer in Law. Professor Barnett, the Carmack Waterhouse Professor of Legal Theory
at the Georgetown University Law Center, will discuss the recent United States Supreme Court decision upholding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

Professor Barnett has written and commented extensively on the Affordable Care Act and represented the National Federal of Independent Businesses as their case against the ACA was presented before the Supreme Court last spring. Professor Barnett will discuss the general implications of the Court’s landmark decision, as well as fundamental misunderstandings he perceives among the legal academic community regarding the decision’s import. Professor Barnett’s lecture, “Who Won the Obamacare Case (and Why Did So Many Law Professors Miss the Boat)?,” precedes an article of the same name to be published in an upcoming edition of the Florida Law Review.

Please plan to join the Florida Law Review at the 32nd Annual Dunwody Distinguished Lecture in Law
on Friday, March 22 in the Martin H. Levin Advocacy Center. This event is free and open to the public. The lecture begins at 10 AM.
