Loyola University Maryland Inaugural Humanities In Action Talk

Acclaimed judicial commentator Elie Mystal will present “The Constitution and the Right to Privacy” at this talk which is open to the general public and the region’s academic communities.

Mystal will discuss Supreme Court jurisprudence over the years and especially the right-ward lurch that the current Roberts Court has taken most recently with the Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade.

Known for writing about the law and politics, breaking down Supreme Court decisions and presenting up-to-the-minute coverage of Supreme Court confirmation battles, Mystal, is the justice correspondent for The Nation, where he writes about politics and social and racial justice. He also is a legal contributor to the More Perfect podcast on WNYC and is a former executive editor of Above the Law – a website with about 2 million unique visitors. His first book, Allow Me To RetortA Black Guy’s Guide to the Constitution, was on the New York Times’ Best Seller list in April 2022.

In addition to appearing regularly on MSNBC since 2018 (on All In With Chris Hayes, The Beat With Ari Melber, A.M. Joy with Joy Reid and Up with David Gura), Mystal has been a frequent guest on the Brian Lehrer Show, The Dean Obedallah Show and Signal Boost with Zerlina Maxwell & Jess McIntosh.

He’s also appeared on The Mike Huckabee Show, The Megyn Kelly Show and Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld, and done various appearances on CNBC and Fox Business about legal industry news. Mystal, who received his undergraduate degree in government from Harvard University and his J.D. from Harvard Law School, began his career as an attorney with Debevoise and Plimpton from 2003-2005.
