USC Gould School of Law’s 2023 Justice Lester W. Roth Lecture featured the Hon. Reena Raggi, who visited the law school as part of the Jurist-in-Residence Program in November. Raggi, who is a judge in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, gave a lecture titled, “Juries, Liberty, and the Administration of Justice,” during the two-day visit, which included a tour of campus, meetings with students, faculty and administrators, and the opportunity to sit in on a law class.
Launched in 2018, the Jurist-in-Residence Program brings judges from around the country to USC Gould to create an intensive learning experience that extends beyond the classroom. Visiting judges have one-on-one discussions with faculty and students, and sit in on classes throughout their time on campus.
The Roth Lecture Series was established in 1979 in honor of Justice Lester W. Roth, a 1916 graduate of USC Law and presiding justice of the California Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District, from 1964 until his retirement in 1992.
“I am so impressed by the students here at USC Gould and I am so delighted to have been invited to participate in the Jurist-in-Residence Program,” Raggi said. “I hope that I’ve given the students a positive view of the work that we do on the court as they get ready to enter the legal profession.”
