Introduction

 

This year's Brennan Center Jorde Symposium focuses on the novel strategy for campaign finance reform proposed by Professors Bruce Ackerman and Ian Ayres in their recent book Voting with Dollars: A New Paradigm for Campaign Finance. Professor Ackerman delivered the Jorde Lecture on Voting with Dollars at Yale Law School on November 27, 2001, with commentaries by Professors Richard Briffault of Columbia and John Ferejohn of Stanford. The second performance of Professor Ackerman's lecture took place at Boalt Hall on March 6, 2002, with commentaries by Professors Pamela Karlan of Stanford and David Strauss of Chicago. This issue publishes these commentaries, along with a rejoinder by Professors Ackerman and Ayres.

The Brennan Center Jorde Symposium Lectures are sponsored by the Brennan Center for Justice at N.Y.U. School of Law and endowed by Professor Thomas Jorde of U.C. Berkeley. The Brennan Center for Justice is devoted to discourse and action on issues of justice central to the jurisprudence of Justice William J. Brennan Jr. and was dedicated by Justice Brennan's law clerks, family, friends, and admirers as a living monument to a legendary figure of humanity and justice. The California Law Review thanks the Brennan Center and Professor Jorde for their support in bringing this year's symposium to our pages.
