John Paul Stevens, retired associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, will visit Alabama Law Nov. 16^th to present the Fall 2011 Albritton Lecture.

 It's open to the public. It begins at 3:30 p.m. in the Mcmillan Lecture Hall, room 287/288..

You don't have to register, but keep in mind that purses, bags, laptops, umbrellas or large jackets are not allowed in the lecture hall.

Stevens' visit coincides with a flurry of recent media coverage about the former justice, who recently released the book Five Chiefs: A Supreme Court Memoir.
