Justice Anthony Kennedy To Kick Off Inaugural Law and Democracy Event
Retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy will be interviewed by financier-philanthropist David Rubenstein at a Sept. 14 inaugural event for the new Karsh Center for Law and Democracy at the University of Virginia School of Law.
“We are deeply honored that Justice Kennedy will launch our new Karsh Center for Law and Democracy,” Dean Risa Goluboff said. “We look forward to welcoming him back to the Law School and to learning from his longstanding efforts to strengthen democracy and the rule of law.”
Kennedy will be joined for the conversation by Rubenstein, who will interview the jurist about his legacy on the court. The interview will be recorded for national broadcast on PBS stations, and will also air as a stand-alone episode of “The David Rubenstein Show,” a Bloomberg series focused on conversations about leadership.
Rubenstein is a co-founder and co-executive chairman of The Carlyle Group, one of the world’s largest private equity firms. He is chairman of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, chairman of the Smithsonian Institution and president of the Economic Club of Washington, D.C.
