Fox Legal Analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano to Deliver 2007-08
Brandt Foundation Lecture Sept. 24 at Boise State
The Boise State University College of Business and Economics, in conjunction
with the John and Orah Brandt Foundation, will present Judge Andrew P.
Napolitano on Monday, Sept. 24, as the 2007-08 Brandt Foundation Lecturer.
His talk, titled “The Constitution in Exile,” will begin at 7 p.m. in the
Jordan Ballroom of the Student Union Building at Boise State and is free and
open to the public.
Napolitano joined FOX News Channel in May 1998 and currently serves as a
senior judicial analyst. He appears daily on “The Big Story” with John
Gibson, co−hosts “FOX and Friends” once a week and is a regular on “The
O'Reilly Factor.” He recently published “The Constitution in Exile,” a
follow-up to his best-selling book “Constitutional Chaos.”
Napolitano is the youngest life−tenured Superior Court Judge in the history
of the state of New Jersey. While on the bench from 1987-95, Napolitano
tried more than 150 jury trials, and sat in all parts of the Superior Court
— criminal, civil, equity and family. For 11 years, Napolitano served as an
adjunct professor at Seton Hall Law School, where he taught constitutional
law and jurisprudence. He returned to private law practice in 1995, the same
year he began his career in broadcasting.
Napolitano received his undergraduate degree from Princeton University and
his Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from the University of Notre Dame.
In 2004, the Brandt Foundation pledged a $40,000 annual donation to the
Boise State College of Business and Economics that created a named
professorship and secured funding for an annual lecture series. Guest
lecturers have included Nobel Prize-winning economist James Buchanan, ABC
News correspondent John Stossel and Cato Institute chairman William Niskanen.
