An article in Politico today suggests U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is reemerging as a liberal voice reports that he will “showcase many of those left-leaning positions” during his address tonight at the ACS Tenth Anniversary National Convention, “Constitution at the Crossroads: Progress Imperiled?”
The article notes that the location of the 9/11 trials had “defined much of his tenure,” and with that behind him, he has been freed to focus on other issues close to his heart, such as fair drug crime sentencing.
Holder will deliver keynote remarks during the opening gala dinner tonight, following the final round of the ACS Constance Baker Motley Moot Court Competition, and an opening panel on nontraditional lawyers and their impact on the law, featuring Slate’s Dahlia Lithwick, cartoonist Ruben Bolling and former ACS Executive Director Lisa Brown, who runs a new White House government reform initiative.
The full schedule for the three-day convention is available here and general information about the convention is here. For those who have not yet registered but are interested in attending, on-site registration at the Capital Hilton begins at noon today.
