Neil M. Gorsuch, Supreme Court of the United States

Description

The Hon. Neil M. Gorsuch, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, spent Thursday evening on the University of Kentucky campus. He spoke to University of Kentucky College of Law students as well as judges, lawyers and clerks from across Kentucky.

Justice Gorsuch was here as part of the John G. Heyburn II Initiative for Excellence in the Federal Judiciary.

“The Heyburn Initiative enhances the academic experience for our students by providing them with the opportunity to listen to, and engage with, some of our nation’s top leaders in law. The College of Law is one of very few law schools to offer this type of access to speakers of the highest caliber on an annual basis,” said David A. Brennen, dean at UK Law. “This initiative continues to help UK Law carry on its tradition of excellence and we were honored to host Justice Gorsuch for his first public lecture for a law school since being appointed to the Supreme Court.”

After being introduced by U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, the justice spoke to a packed crowd in the Gatton College of Business and Economics' Kincaid Auditorium. UK Law Professor Paul Salamanca served as moderator and posed several questions to the justice on different topics, including his relationships with other justices and advice for law students.
