About this event

Three In-Person Sessions January 9, 16, 23 John Girardeau is a retired Superior Court judge. He graduated from Emory University and Emory University Law School. Prior to moving to Gainesville to practice law he served in the U.S. Air Force, was a member of a U.S. Senate staff in Washington, D.C. and a Law Assistant to a Georgia Supreme Court justice. 2024 has been a year of important Supreme Court decisions that have gotten much public interest. The subjects included free speech, guns, abortion and others. In each of these areas the Court had to "interpret" a portion or portions of the U.S. Constitution. How does it go about in doing that? This course will consider some of these decisions and how the Court goes about "interpreting" the Constitution.
