Former President Ronald Reagan died Saturday at the age of
93. Faculty from Chicago-Kent College of Law and the Stuart
Graduate School of Business are available for interviews on topics
related to the Reagan era.
President Reagan will have the first presidential state funeral
in Washington, D.C., since Lyndon Johnson died in 1973. The
U.S. Army Military District of Washington is responsible for coordinating
all ceremonial arrangements for the funeral with a "joint
forces ceremonial team." As a past commander-in-chief of
the U.S. armed forces, former presidents are afforded specific
military honors. In addition to the protocol for ceremonies in
Washington, D.C., and in California, the former commander-in-chief
is honored at all military installations. For example, at each
Army base a gun salute is fired every half-hour, from reveille
to retreat. Chicago-Kent professor Michael
I. Spak, a colonel in the U.S. Army Reserves and military
liaison officer of the Judge Advocate General's School, Charlottesville,
Virginia, for a seven-state area, can discuss military protocol.
The U.S. Supreme Court still has several rulings on key legal
issues to hand down. The justices will rule on cases involving
executive privilege, the Pledge of Allegiance, detention of foreign
nationals, Fourth Amendment searches and seizures, "enemy
combatants," and the Child Online Protection Act. Professor
Sheldon Nahmod
is available for interviews about key decisions and themes of
the 2003-04 term.
At the Downtown Campus:

of Technology's board of trustees. Commencement exercises will
