In this Hot Topic Panel, legal
scholars will address the ways in which Justice Kavanaugh’s nomination,
hearings, and confirmation impact a wide variety of legal domains, including
sexual harassment and assault laws, workplace equality, policing, substantive
and criminal law, administrative law, the field of judicial ethics, and the standards
of proof appropriate for criminal, legal, and political processes. We will also
engage the ways in which Justice Kavanaugh’s role in today's political and
legal climate intersects with jurisprudence, such as critical legal feminism
and the moral theory of epistemic injustice.
