Delaware Supreme Court Justice Randy J. Holland will speak at the Delaware Public Archives on Wednesday evening, Oct. 7, 6:30 p.m., on the topic of the 800th Anniversary of Magna Carta, the so-called Great Charter of 1215, which serves as the foundation for both the British and American systems of government. Justice Holland is the editor of the book, Magna Carta, Muse and Mentor, published in 2014 by the Library of Congress and Thomson Reuters to commemorate the anniversary. Among the book’s authors are Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and other eminent British and American jurists and legal scholars. As Justice Roberts noted in his foreword to the book, “Whether King John and the barons knew it or not, the events at Runnymede 800 years ago marked the commencement of a social transformation. Magna Carta laid a foundation for the ascent of liberty and the rule of law.” Justice Holland’s talk is the final event in a day of activities marking the 110th anniversary of the establishment of the Delaware Public Archives. Copies of Justice Holland’s book will be available for purchase at the event and he will sign copies for those wishing to have him do so.
Maryland PING! for anybody interested.
Thanks for the ping. I am going to see if I can talk the husband into going to this. I’ll entice him by suggesting we visit Fordham afterwards.
Can you recommend a brewpub that is close to the venue?
Oops! Fordham will be closed by the time the talk is over.
