The Eighth-Annual John F. Scarpa Conference on Law, Politics, and Culture:

Exploring and Celebrating the Legacy of John T. Noonan, Jr.

 

Friday, November 15, 20013

Villanova University School of Law

 

The Honorable John T. Noonan, Jr., has served on the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit since 1986, following a distinguished career in practice and teaching.  In a scholarly career spanning more than half a century, Noonan has written major works, some of them now classics, on a stunningly broad range of topics including usury, bribery, contraception, religious freedom, federalism, professional ethics, marriage and annulment, abortion, and jurisprudence.  The conference will explore aspects of many of the topics Noonan has studied and illuminated, emphasizing the thread that unites all of Noonan’s work: the development of doctrine.
