To discuss how his departure will impact the court, two guests joined the Knowledge at Wharton show on Wharton Business Radio on SiriusXM channel 111: Theodore Ruger, dean of the University of Pennsylvania Law School, and Randy Beck, associate dean for academic affairs and chair of constitutional law at the University of Georgia School of Law, and a former clerk to Justice Kennedy.
