INTRODUCTION:

Justice Antonin Scalia

 The University of Toledo Law Review Edition 34:3 is dedicated to Justice Antonin Scalia.  It was my goal as the Symposium Editor to present a balanced view of Justice Scalia's style and influence.  This edition includes articles from well-known legal authors, as well as several exceptional student works.  Our articles range from general observations about Justice Scalia's judicial philosophy and approach to cases, to his influences in the specific areas of tax law, criminal law, and property law.  I am grateful to all of the authors who contributed to this symposium edition.

On March 17B18, 2003, The University of Toledo College of Law was honored to have Justice Antonin Scalia as our guest.  In addition to his public presentation, Justice Scalia graciously held a question and answer teaching session for students and faculty, and attended a private reception with Law Review students.  Justice Scalia's visit enabled us to gain a better understanding of his straightforward, common-sense approach to the law and also his infectious sense of humor.

Justice Scalia remained with us after his visit, as professors focused on his opinions in class, or posed questions such as, "What do you think Justice Scalia would say?" Although many students and professors in the law school may disagree with Justice Scalia's textualist view, his visit made a valuable contribution to broadening our legal education.
