Conference on Catholic Legal Thought in Oklahoma City
The sixth annual Conference on Catholic Legal Thought is ongoing in lovely Norman, Oklahoma. I, unfortunately for me, had to leave early, but it was wonderful to spend time talking with and learning from so many friends, old and new, and to enjoy the hospitality of our own Michael Scaperlanda and the University of Oklahoma's law school.
The theme for this year's conference has been the work and thought of St. Augustine, and the gathering kicked off with a comprehensive, tour de force presentation by Duke's Prof. Paul Griffiths, "The Essential St. Augustine for 21st Century Lawyers and Law Professors." Lots of MOJ-ers and others then followed with their own papers and presentations, but I'll leave it to them to provide accounts.
I was not able to attend, much to my regret, the panel discussion of Steve Smith's latest, The Disenchantment of Secular Discourse. I'd love to hear more from those who were there.
