<div><font face="Verdana" size="-1" color="#000000">Austin Sarat,
William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Jurisprudence and Political
Science at Amherst College and Five College Fortieth Anniversary
Professor, delivers the 5th lecture in the Challenges to Legal Thought
in the 21st Century Series on Wednesday Nov 8th, entitled
"Lawful; Lawlessness: Clemency and
Sovereignty."</font></div>
<div><font face="Verdana" size="-1" color="#000000"><br>
This talk will ask what we can learn about sovereign power in the
modern era by examining one of its most vivid instantiations--namely
the power of chief executives to grant clemency in capital cases. It
will describe a form of sovereign power called "lawful
lawlessness" and ask how that power challenges existing ideas of
and commitments to the rule of law.<br>
