On February 22, the Law School welcomes Judge William A. Fletcher of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, who will give the keynote speech of the symposium, “The Structure of Standing at 25.” The symposium is organized in honor of Judge Fletcher, whose influential article, “The Structure of Standing,” was published in 1988 in the Yale Law Journal.
