Center for the Study of Constitutional Originalism
Originalism is the view that the Constitution should be interpreted in accordance with its original meaning—that is, the meaning it had at the time of its enactment. The Center for the Study of Constitutional Originalism at the University of San Diego School of Law studies all aspects of originalism by holding conferences, hosting speakers, sponsoring fellows, operating a blog, and promoting originalist scholarship. The Annual Hugh & Hazel Darling Originalism Works in Progress Conference, held in February of each year, brings leading originalist scholars throughout the country and the world to San Diego to discuss current originalist issues.
