Adler and Hill will provide an overview of the case and debate some key legal issues, including whether the plaintiffs have standing to bring the lawsuit and whether the 19th-century Comstock Act is relevant to the FDA's 21st-century rulings.

April 16: Judicial Review of Public Health Laws: From Deference to Indifference with Wendy E. Parmet
For most of American history, courts granted significant deference to public health officials. This deference, which could be and was at times abused, was justified by numerous factors including the broad authority that legislatures granted to health agencies, respect for scientific expertise, and the high value that the law gave to public health, as expressed by the maxim salus populi suprema lex.
This tradition of judicial deference to public health authorities eroded during the COVID-19 pandemic as courts heard thousands of challenges to COVID-19 related public health orders. Although most courts upheld most uses of public health powers during the pandemic, many courts, including the Supreme Court, replaced deference with deep skepticism of expertise and indifference to the public health effects of their decisions. This shift was especially apparent in Free Exercise challenges to public health orders, as well as cases reviewing the scope of authority of federal officials under the novel major questions doctrine.
Building upon the book, Constitutional Contagion, COVID, the Courts and Public Health, this talk will review the shift from deference to indifference during the pandemic and discuss its post-pandemic spillover, including in challenges to the authority of the FDA and EPA and childhood vaccine laws. The talk will also examine the connections between the decline of deference and threats to democracy and consider what this new judicial era may augur for public health.

June 13: Technology and the Legal Practitioner: Ethical Concerns & Best Practices
Legal professionals have a duty to provide competent representation to their clients. In the past, that meant an attorney was competent based on their experience and knowledge of the law. Today, however, the concept of competence has evolved to include a duty of technological competence. Attorneys today use a wide variety of technology – from email to Word to Artificial Intelligence tools. This session will address the ethical obligations that arise from the use of technology in the practice of law.

February 14: Navigating Intercultural Competency & Well-Being in Times of Change
We are living in a country and world that increasingly can be characterized as a V.U.C.A.–volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous. Since the beginning of this century, we have seemingly been in a period of turmoil and trauma. Political uncertainty, controversial court decisions, and social/cultural change have created divisions between workplaces, communities, neighbors, families, and lawyers. As attorneys, not only are we spectators of these changes as citizens, but we are also important protagonists in the system that some people see as the source of many of these problems.
Given this challenge, how do we lead as lawyers and facilitate difficult conversations with people different from us so that we can thrive both as lawyers and as human beings? This program will explore two concepts that will assist us in our journey: intercultural competency which helps to manage interpersonal relationships with those different from us, and what it means to flourish as a lawyer through the lens of well-being. We will only reach our fullest potential by successfully navigating both concepts.
