U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas at Notre Dame September 16

ST. JOSEPH COUNTY, Ind. – U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas will be at Notre Dame on September 16 to deliver the 2021 Tocqueville Lecture for the Center for Citizenship and Constitutional Government.

The lecture will be delivered to a public and campus audience at 3:30 p.m. in the Leighton Concert Hall of the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center.

Tickets for limited public seating are free and available one hour prior to the event.

The queue for tickets will be accommodated no more than two hours before the event.

“I’m delighted to bring Justice Thomas to Notre Dame. Whether you agree or disagree with his jurisprudence, he is the Supreme Court’s most independent and original thinker,” said Vincent Phillip Muñoz, the Tocqueville Associate Professor of Political Science and Concurrent Associate Professor of Law at the University of Notre Dame. “And I am delighted that Notre Dame students will have the chance to engage him in the classroom, to learn from and question one of the nation’s most important office holders.”

While on campus, Thomas will also co-teach a one-credit undergraduate course with Muñoz. The course will explore Thomas’s journey to the Supreme Court and some of the justice’s most important Supreme Court opinions.
