The Heritage Foundation is honored to announce that Professor Joel Alicea, will deliver this year's Edwin Meese III Originalism Lecture for his speech titled, “Originalism, the Administrative State, and the Clash of Political Theories." Professor Alicea is the St. Robert Bellarmine Professor of Law and Director of the Center for the Constitution and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition at the Catholic University of America's Columbus School of Law, as well as a Non-resident Fellow at American Enterprise Institute.

This annual lecture seeks to honor former Attorney General Ed Meese’s legacy of advancing an understanding and jurisprudence of originalism. When the Framers wrote the Constitution, “Their intention was to write a document not just for their times but for posterity,” Meese said in a 1985 speech to the D.C. Chapter of the Federalist Society Lawyers Division. Meese reiterated the theme of Original Intention in several speeches, warning of the danger of “seeing the Constitution as an empty vessel into which each generation may pour its passion and prejudice.” The Great Debate that he launched over three decades ago placed the idea of judicial originalism at the center of American jurisprudence and fundamentally altered the constitutional landscape of this nation.

Today, originalism is no longer a novel concept; instead, it is now widely embraced in legal circles, including academia and the judiciary. Building on the work of Ed Meese, this lecture aims to continue the conversation he started and examine new trends and themes in originalist thought today. Please join us for our fourth annual lecture.
