Professor Rotunda Testified at Appointment of Supreme Court Seat
July 1, 2010
Professor Ronald Rotunda testified in the Judiciary Committee on the fourth day of hearings on the appointment of Elena Kagan to the U.S. Supreme Court seat. Professor Rotunda’s testimony focused on what Solicitor General Kagan must do as a Justice to comply with a federal statute (28 USC a Sec. 455(b)(3)) applicable to Justices who have previously served in certain governmental roles. This statute becomes unusually important in this situation because of Solicitor General Kagan’s current service as Solicitor General. Watch Professor Rotunda testify here.
