News Update
1. I am sorry to report the tragic news that one of the Club officers, Dr. William Crowley, recently passed away. Bill was a great supporter of the Club and he will be missed.
2. On a more positive note, I am pleased to report that Mariah Zeisberg from the Univ of Michigan has agreed to co-chair the Princeton Prize in Race relations committee for the Detroit region.
As you will recall, this program encourages high school students to develop projects aimed at improving race relations in their communities.
There is information on the program on the University website.
WE STILL NEED 2-3 ALUMS WHO ARE WILLING TO SERVE ON THE COMMITTEE TO HELP SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT THE PROGRAM AND HELP JUDGE THE APPLICATIONS.
IT SHOULD NOT BE A HUGE CHUNK OF TIME.
Contact me if you are interested.

Prof. Keith Whittington to Speak March 6
Dear Princetonians: HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The University is graciously sponsoring another professor's visit this year. It is Professor Keith Whittington. The program will be held on March 6. It will likely be in the Ann Arbor area. If there any alumni in Ann Arbor that would like to host the program at their house, please contact me. Further details to follow. Information on Prof Whittington's talk is below:
Name: Keith E. Whittington
Department: Department of Politics
Talk Title: The Politics of Judicial Supremacy
Talk Description: Judicial review is usually understood to be inherently antidemocratic, and politicians frequently decry the "judicial activism" of out-of-control judges. In practice, however, the U.S. Supreme Court has often exercised the power of judicial review in ways that win political support for the Court. National political leaders have often found it in their political interest to support the active exercise of judicial review and protect the Court from its critics. Judicial activism is not simply an assertion of will by independent judges; politicians have encouraged and supported judicial activism and the rise of judicial supremacy.
Bio: Keith E. Whittington is William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Politics at Princeton University. He is the author of Constitutional Construction: Divided Powers and Constitutional Meaning and Constitutional Interpretation: Textual Meaning, Original Intent, and Judicial Review, and editor (with Neal Devins) of Congress and the Constitution. He has published widely on American constitutional theory and development, federalism, judicial politics, and the presidency. He is the author of the forthcoming Political Foundations of Judicial Supremacy: The Presidency, the Supreme Court, and Constitutional Leadership in U.S. History, and editor (with R. Daniel Kelemen and Gregory A. Caldeira) of the forthcoming Oxford Handbook of Law and Politics. He has been a John M. Olin Foundation Faculty Fellow and American Council of Learned Societies Junior Faculty Fellow, and a Visiting Scholar at the Social Philosophy and Policy Center, and a Visiting Professor at the University of Texas School of Law.
