Judge Thapar Criticizes Law Schools and Attorneys for Rejecting Originalist Views

In a recent address at the Heritage Foundation, U.S. Circuit Judge Amul R. Thapar delivered sharp criticism of law schools and attorneys for not embracing an originalist approach to constitutional interpretation. Judge Thapar argued that despite the growing influence of conservative constitutional views, many appellate attorneys continue to lose cases due to their inability to adapt to these evolving perspectives. He pointed to law schools as a significant part of the problem, suggesting they are increasingly out of step with current legal trends and may not merit the continued financial support of their alumni.
