“The other justices are old, but they are all in good health,” Laycock said.
Reacting to the forum, Harvard Law Review President Thiru Vignarajah said, “The material was interesting and accessible, representing the most important questions facing our nation and the Court today.”
Laycock and Pildes were selected to write for the issue by the two Supreme Court chairs of the Law Review.
The Law Review surveys professors annually, seeking those who are at the top of their careers and who have already shaped the field of law.
The issue also contains a tribute to the late Archibald Cox, former Harvard Law School professor, as well as student comments on the 25 most important cases of the 2003 term.
“As [it is] the most widely read and cited legal commentary each year, we are very proud of the Supreme Court Issue’s contribution to scholarship and the legal community,” Vignarajah said.
