Steven K

"Kind of one-sided panel. There ARE problems with giving too much credence to the intentions, and even the words, of men living in a time when slavery was legal, women had very limited rights, and relatively little was known about our universe or human psychology. While this was touched on a little, it was a very small part of the discussion."

Stephen B

"Whether you agreed with the views expressed or not, it was very helpful to hear from some of our state's appellate judges their views on how they use originalism to interpret statutes and constitutional provisions."

Melina B

"It was an interesting presentation."

Arcangelo C

"Thanks for the exposition of originalism, and the challenges to it. "

Mark M

"Would have been a 5 if there had been more consideration of the opposing view, i.e., why an originalism analysis doesn't work well in some cases."

Joel N

"Lively discussion by thoughtful panel"

John T

"Not well organized--would have better if used cases as a teaching method; and used visuals"

A P

"Very good presenters, but not enough time to really delve into the topic with case law examples"
