We are delighted to announce this exiting event.  Professor Bill Abrams is visiting the UK on the 22nd October and has kindly offered to talk to members of the Stanford Club when he stops off on his travels in London.  This is a very short notice announcement, but we hope that you are able to attend.  Refreshments will be provided during the evening.  Professor Abrams talk will be based around The US Supreme Court 2009-2010 Term: A look at the key cases that the Court will consider, and some thoughts on where it might be headed.
