Lawless: The Miseducation of America’s Elites, Featuring Ilya Shapiro - Orange County
Orange County Lawyers Chapter
2040 Main Street, 1st Floor
Irvine, CA 92614
The Orange County Federalist Society is pleased to host Ilya Shapiro, renowned constitutional scholar and Director of Constitutional Studies at the Manhattan Institute, for a discussion of his new book, Lawless: The Miseducation of America’s Elites.
In Lawless, Shapiro offers a powerful critique of how America’s legal and academic institutions have drifted from their constitutional moorings. Drawing on his own experiences and research, he explains how elite law schools, the legal profession, and the judiciary have embraced ideology over principle—often at the expense of liberty, the rule of law, and intellectual diversity.
Shapiro will explore urgent questions:
- How did our top institutions become unmoored from constitutional principles?
- What role has legal education played in reshaping America’s elites?
- What can lawyers, students, and citizens do to restore fidelity to the Constitution and the promise of self-government?
Join us for this timely and thought-provoking conversation about law, education, and the future of constitutional governance.
Cost:
