Presented by: Case Western Reserve University Law Review Symposium

Summary: Does Avoiding Constitutional Questions Promote Judicial Independence?

Recent events, such as selection of Supreme Court justices, the proposed Kelo eminent domain legislation, and the Schiavo congressional intervention statute, have brought issues of judicial independence and judicial accountability to the forefront. The interplay between Congress and the judiciary exposes balance of power issues that dictate where and how crucial decisions are made. This symposium will examine recent congressional action and discuss future solutions to controversies surrounding the federal judiciary.
