One of the nation's top law interpreters is coming to speak in Lubbock.
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia will be speaking at the annual Sandra Day O'Connor Distinguished Lecture Series at 5 p.m. Friday in the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center Exhibit Hall.
Scalia is the second most senior associate justice for the U.S. Supreme Court, according to a Texas Tech news release. Former President Ronald Reagan appointed him to the position in 1986.
Walter Huffman, dean of the Tech School of Law, said Scalia will be giving a presentation to the general public and also will be conducting presentations for student functions at the law school, according to the release.
"It is always an honor for the Texas Tech University School of Law to host a justice of our nation's highest court, and it is a special privilege to host Justice Scalia," Huffman said, in the news release. "His articulate and aggressive defense of his position as a strict adherent to the fundamental principles established by the U.S. Constitution has made him one of the most well-known and oft-quoted members of the current court, and I am certain his presentations will be both informative and entertaining."
Admission is free to the public, but tickets are required to attend. Tickets are available by contacting the law school at 806-742-3787 or by e-mail at specialevents.law@ttu.edu.
