Turley To Address The Ninth Circuit Conference

I have the honor of giving a keynote address to the Ninth Circuit Judicial Conference in Anaheim, California this morning.  The presentation at 10:30 am at the Marriott Anaheim is entitled “The Rise and Fall of Free Speech In the West.”

Created in 1891, the Ninth Circuit is far and away the largest of the 13 circuits with 29 active appellate judges.  The circuit covers the following districts:

• District of Alaska
• District of Arizona
• Central District of California
• Eastern District of California
• Northern District of California
• Southern District of California
• District of Hawaii
• District of Idaho
• District of Montana
• District of Nevada
• District of Oregon
• Eastern District of Washington
• Western District of Washington

• District of Guam
• District of the Northern Mariana Islands

The scope of its decisions is daunting. Each year The Ninth Circuit decides roughly 12,000 cases with over 56,000 decided by district courts.

It will be a great honor to address this Circuit on the subject of free speech.
