Ex-solicitor general to visit Dole Institute

A former solicitor general of the United States is scheduled to visit the Kansas University campus Sunday and Monday.

Paul Clement, who served as the nation’s 43rd solicitor general under George W. Bush from 2005 to 2008, argued in the Supreme Court on behalf of the government in 49 cases.

He also served for nearly a year as acting solicitor general before being officially named to the position.

At 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Clement will appear at the Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics and will sit for an interview conducted by Stephen McAllister, KU constitutional law professor.

He is then scheduled to give a brief presentation at 12:30 p.m. Monday in Room 104 of Green Hall.

Both programs are free and open to the public.
