U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia is coming to Bozeman to speak at the Museum of the Rockies next week.

Scalia will give a lecture titled "Constitutional Interpretation" at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 28 at the Hager Auditorium, according to MSU News Service director Tracy Ellig. The event is free and open to the public with seating on a first come, first serve basis.

Montana State University found out Scalia was coming to Montana and asked if he would be willing to come to Bozeman to give a lecture, Ellig said. Scalia agreed.

Doors open will open at 6:30 p.m. The Hager Auditorium seats 220 people.

Scalia was nominated to the Supreme Court in 1986 by President Ronald Reagan.

Following the lecture, Scalia will take questions from the audience. Those attending the lecture are asked not to bring video or audio recording devices, backpacks, bags or large purses. Photographs are limited to the first few minutes at the beginning and end of the lecture. No flashes are allowed.

Scalia's visit is sponsored by Montana State University's Office of the President.
