U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. has recently assumed an honorary position on the advisory board of a new law school program at Catholic University of America. This new program explores the intersection of originalism and Catholicism, according to Law360.
Notably, this novel program was reported to be fully funded by an anonymous gift. This generous donation was directed by Leonard Leo, who serves as a university trustee and co-chair of the Federalist Society.
A deeper understanding of originalism’s role within the context of Catholic teachings within legal practices will be the key focus of this emerging program, benefiting from the insights of Justice Alito in its advisory board.
