The Judge James R. Browning Distinguished Lecture in Law was established by the 2001-2002 editorial board and staff of the Montana Law Review, to honor Judge James R. Browning for his distinguished service to American jurisprudence, which includes more than forty years of leadership on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and a role as one of the founding members of the Montana Law Review.

This lecture series will create an annual forum for scholarly thought and discussion by attracting individuals who will provide the Montana Law Review, the School of Law, and the Montana legal community with timely, insightful and pertinent scholarship.
