On Antonin Scalia: with Adam J. White

May 05, 2019

The late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia spent his life teaching American lawyers through judicial opinions, articles, and lectures. Arguing for originalism and textualism, he also took up the fundamental importance of virtue in a republic and the dangers of stripping the moral foundation away from the education of citizens — especially lawyers. In this episode of The National Affairs Podcast, Adam J. White joins hosts Devorah Goldman and Daniel Wiser, Jr., to explain the enduring nature of Scalia’s moral vision and its potential to revive legal education.

Adam J. White is a
resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, where he focuses on American constitutionalism, the Supreme
Court, and the administrative state. This podcast is inspired by Adam’s
essay from the Fall 2017 issue of National
Affairs, “Antonin
Scalia, Legal Educator.”
