In recent years, there has been renewed scholarly interest in how the equitable power of courts was understood at the Founding and throughout the nineteenth century. Some of this interest has focused on Supreme Court cases in which the limits on the equitable powers of federal courts were traced back to the Founding, while other scholars have focused on how equity and the natural-law tradition relate to each other in constitutional theory. Join CIT for a discussion of this recent scholarship on equity at the Founding and beyond.
