Blogging the Aspen Ideas Festival

There is an Atlantic Monthly crew doing some good blogging out of this week’s Aspen Ideas Festival. The most interesting entry so far reports on a session (with University of Chicago lawprof Dennis Hutchinson) on how Harry Blackmun was influenced by Aspen seminars; one can imagine similar history thirty years from now looking at how international conference travel figured in the evolution of Anthony Kennedy’s jurisprudence. There are a couple of international law-related panels later in the week, with appearances by Stephen Breyer, Sandra Day O’Connor, Michael Posner, and Samantha Power, among others. PS: Fordham international lawprof Catherine Powell is there.
