Honoring the Scholarship of Ronald D. Rotunda

The 2019 Chapman Law Review Symposium honors the late Professor Ronald D. Rotunda and his scholarship.

Rotunda was the Doy & Dee Henley Chair and Distinguished Professor of Jurisprudence at Chapman University's Dale E. Fowler School of Law, where he joined the faculty in 2008. He was a magna cum laude graduate of both Harvard College and Harvard Law School, where he was a member of Harvard Law Review.

Professor Rotunda's scholarly work focusing on professional responsibility and constitutional law has been cited more than 2000 times by law reviews, by state and federal courts at every level, from trial courts to the U.S. Supreme Court, and by foreign courts in Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America.

He was a valued mentor, Professor, colleague, brother, and friend. We honor both his life and scholarship with this Symposium.

Tickets will also be available at the door for $60.
