A leading national voice on the Supreme Court will be speaking and taking questions from the public at St. Mary’s College of Maryland on Friday, September 16, 2022 at 7:00 p.m. in the Auerbach Auditorium of St. Mary's Hall. The Center for the Study of Democracy, a joint venture between St. Mary's College of Maryland and Historic St. Mary's City, welcomes former Acting Solicitor General of the United States Neal Katyal to deliver the Judge William O.E. Sterling Constitution Day Lecture. The event is free and open to the public. He will speak on "The Supreme Court, the Rule of Law and the Future of American Democracy."
Katyal focuses on appellate and complex litigation and has extensive experience in matters of constitutional, patent, technology, securities, criminal, employment and tribal law. He has orally argued 37 cases before the Supreme Court of the United States, with 35 of them in the last nine years. His 2017 win in Bristol Myers Squibb v. Superior Court was a landmark victory for personal jurisdiction law.
In December 2017, American Lawyer magazine named him The Litigator of the Year, chosen from all the lawyers in the United States.
Katyal is a partner at Hogan Lovells law firm. Prior to joining Hogan Lovells he served as Acting Solicitor General of the United States, where he argued several major Supreme Court cases involving a variety of issues, such as his successful defense of the constitutionality of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, his victorious defense of former Attorney General John Ashcroft for alleged abuses in the war on terror, his unanimous victory against eight states who sued the nation's leading power plants for contributing to global warming, and a variety of other matters. As Acting Solicitor General, he was responsible for representing the federal government of the United States in all appellate matters before the U.S. Supreme Court and Courts of Appeals throughout the nation.
Katyal is the recipient of the very highest award given to a civilian by the U.S. Department of Justice, the Edmund Randolph Award, which the Attorney General presented to him in 2011.
He has also served as a law professor for over two decades at Georgetown University Law Center, where he was one of the youngest professors to have received tenure and a chaired professorship in the university's history. He has also served as a visiting professor at both Harvard and Yale law schools
