On October 5, 2011, the Law Library of Congress (LLC) had the honor of hosting a lecture by Professor Joseph Raz, one of the leading scholars on legal and political philosophy. Professor Raz delivered the second Frederic R. and Molly S. Kellogg Biennial Lecture in Jurisprudence. The first inaugural Kellogg lecture in 2009 featured Professor Ronald Dworkin.
Professor Raz’s fascinating lecture titled Sovereignty & Legitimacy: On the Changing Face of Law, Questions and Speculations was an intellectual treat for an audience that included members of Congress, scholars, legal practitioners and the public at large. For me personally, listening to one of the most brilliant scholars of our time was an intellectually stimulating experience.
