Timothy Sandefur, a Principal Attorney at the libertarian Pacific Legal Foundation (which sometimes files amicus curiae briefs in New Mexico’s appellate courts), and frequent commentator on legal issues, will speak on July 31 about his new book, The Conscience of the Constitution: The Declaration of Independence and the Right to Liberty. The book discusses whether the Constitution’s highest value is liberty or democracy.
The event is sponsored by the Rio Grande Foundation to celebrate Milton Friedman’s 102nd birthday, and is scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m., and conclude at 7:30 p.m., in Room 2401 at UNM Law School, 1117 Stanford Drive NE, Albuquerque.
You can register here. There is a fee of $10 for light appetizers, non-alcoholic drinks, and a birthday cake.
