Robert A. Levy of the Cato Institute will be speaking on the subjects of “Constitutional Relevance in the Age of Obama” and “The Individual Health Insurance Mandate“ at 7 and 9 p.m. July 30 in A-B Tech’s Simpson Auditorium in Asheville.
Levy has a house near Biltmore Lake.

The lecture will focus on highlighting the constitutional implications of several topics in today’s news: selecting judges, bailouts, health care and same-sex marriage.

Levy is chairman of the Cato Institute’s board of directors. He joined Cato as senior fellow in constitutional studies in 1997 after 25 years in business.

He also sits on boards of the Institute for Justice, the Federalist Society, and the George Mason University School of Law.
He founded CDA Investment Technologies, a major provider of financial information and software, and was its CEO until 1991.

Levy clerked for Judge Royce C. Lamberth on the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., and for Judge Douglas H. Ginsburg on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

From 1997 until 2004, Levy was an adjunct professor of law at Georgetown University. He has written numerous articles on investments, law and public policy.

The lecture is sponsored by the AB 9-12 Project, with Donna Wallen as organizer.
