The Chicago Lawyer Chapter held its monthly discussion group on the topic of “Equalitarian vs. Libertarian Constitutionalism: How Do They Differ, Should We be Concerned?” The lively discussion was moderated by two professors from John Marshall Law School, Walter Kendall, a progressive, and William Ford, a conservative. Participants delved into the legacy of historical theorists such as James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, and John Locke, as well as the positions of modern-day advocates Cass Sunstein and Roger Pilon. Among the factors cited in favor of the progressive approach were the development of technology and the growth of international commerce, both of which have given rise to issues which the Founding Fathers never anticipated. Professors Kendall and Ford are working to develop a law school course that will further expand on upon this topic. Discussion participants actively contributed their ideas and suggested readings for the course.
