The scholarship of Owen Fiss, Sterling Professor of Law, will be the focus of a two-day academic conference March 21 and 22 sponsored by the University of Miami Law Review in cooperation with the Yale Law School.
The event is the University of Miami Law Review's annual symposium. It will be held at the Biltmore Hotel and Resort in Coral Gables, Florida.
Fiss is considered one of the nation's preeminent constitutional scholars. A member of the Yale Law School faculty since 1974, he authored or coauthored "Injunctions," "The Civil Rights Injunction," "The Structure of Procedure," "The Federal Procedural System," "Troubled Beginnings of the Modern State," "Liberalism Divided," "The Irony of Free Speech" and "A Community of Equals."
Fiss served as special assistant to the assistant attorney general in the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division from 1966 to 1968. He taught at the University of Chicago before coming to Yale. He has received numerous awards for his work.
Among the featured speakers at the symposium in his honor is Aharon Barak, president of the Supreme Court of Israel, as well as law professors and legal scholars from across the nation. Yale Law School participants include its dean, Anthony Kronman, as well as professors Jack M. Balkin, Robert A. Burt, Jules L. Coleman, Robert W. Gordon, Paul W. Kahn, George L. Priest, Judith Resnik and Reva Siegel.
