Ethan Torrey Speaks on Supreme Court’s Beginnings

The Friends of Old Ship Meeting House are honored to welcome Hingham native (and son of Elizabeth!) Ethan V. Torrey, who serves as the Legal Counsel of the Supreme Court of the United States, to present The Supreme Court and Judicial Independence in the Early Republic on October 25 at 3 pm in the Meeting House.

Along with providing legal services to the Supreme Court as an institution and supporting justices on a variety of case-related issues, Ethan also teaches a class on the History of the Supreme Court at George Washington University. His presentation will focus on the Supreme Court and judicial independence in the early republic, from the Declaration of Independence to the Chief Justiceship of John Marshall.

No tickets are required, but a suggested contribution of $20 per adult will be gratefully accepted at the door to assist with ongoing preservation of the Meeting House. Light refreshments will be offered after the presentation at Ames Chapel, nearby in Hingham Cemetery.
