Description

The first debate in The Hopkins Forum, a debate series from Johns Hopkins University and Open to Debate, features a discussion of the future of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Debaters will include Jeff Flake, former U.S. ambassador to Turkey and a former member of the Senate Judiciary Committee; Jamal Greene, professor of law at Columbia Law School and prominent Supreme Court commentator; Cristina Rodriguez, co-chair of President Joe Biden's Supreme Court Commission; and Jeff Sessions, former U.S. attorney general and senator. The Unresolved format features multiple debate resolutions on the topic. Debaters must declare their "yes" or "no" stance on each of the resolutions, allowing for both sharp disagreements and unexpected alliances.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m.
