Take a walk through our own GW neighborhood to tour the homes of the major players in what is arguably the most important Supreme Court case in history - Marbury v. Madison (1803). This case developed the concept of judicial review and established the Supreme Court as a coequal branch of government in practice as well as in name. Weather permitting, we'll meet at the home of Chief Justice John Marshall - 1801 F Street NW - and end at the home of William Marbury. When we reach Marbury's house I'll buy everyone in the group a donut from District Donuts and we'll eat in the park right next to the Marbury House. Feel free to bring your lunch and a blanket to sit on if you would like to picnic in the park. Learn More and RSVP
