Ep. 69 Former Solicitor General Donald B. Verrilli Jr.

On today’s episode of So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast, we
partner with the First Amendment Salon to present a conversation
between former Solicitor General of the United States Donald B.
Verrilli Jr. and University of Washington School of Law scholar
Ronald Collins.


Verrilli was solicitor general of the United States from June
2011 to June 2016 and during that time he argued dozens of cases
in front of the U.S. Supreme Court, including many First
Amendment cases. He is now a partner with Munger, Tolles &
Olson, and the founder of its Washington, D.C. office.


During this conversation, Verrilli and Collins discuss Verrilli’s
advocacy in front of the Supreme Court on First Amendment cases
and beyond. Verrilli also provides his take on the future of the
court.


The First Amendment Salon is a quarterly gathering of members of
the First Amendment community for a 90-minute discussion with
leading thinkers concerning a timely topic related to freedom of
expression.

A video version of this and past First Amendment Salon
conversations can be found on FIRE’s YouTube page. To learn more
