Abstract
On Tuesday, March 18th, 2025, CIT Director J. Joel Alicea was officially installed as the inaugural St. Robert Bellarmine Chair at the Columbus School of Law. The day began with Prof. Alicea delivering his Chair Lecture, Constitutional Theory at a Catholic University, to an audience of students, faculty, and members of the public.
In his lecture, Prof. Alicea explored three fundamental questions relating to the study of constitutional theory at a Catholic University:
In what ways does constitutional theory benefit from the intellectual disposition of a Catholic university? What might be the potential drawbacks or risks involved in studying constitutional theory at a Catholic university? How can one gain the benefits of engaging in constitutional theory at a Catholic university while avoiding any potential risks that attend that setting?
