October 27: One Week Out: The Legal Landscape of Election 2020

The 2020 election cycle has truly been unlike any other in modern history. Not only has the COVID-19 pandemic dramatically changed the way many Americans will cast their ballot, but longstanding norms that have governed political actors' conduct during elections have already been undermined. With the narrative and legal landscape surrounding the election seeming to shift by the hour, many questions have arisen as we enter the final week of voting. What should we expect on Election Night and the weeks to follow? How could ongoing litigation impact the administration of the election in these final days and could it impact the outcomes? What have we seen from the Supreme Court recently on election-related matters and how might that change with a new Justice on the bench?

July 12: The Special Counsel, Executive Power, and the Next Supreme Court Nominee

As the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election continues, its critics have levied a number of constitutional claims against it that are highly disputed, increasing the likelihood that the Supreme Court will ultimately have to resolve such legal disagreements. Questions of executive power therefore must play a central role in the evaluation of the qualifications and suitability of President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee. Join the American Constitution Society on Thursday, July 12 from 3:00-4:00pm ET for a briefing addressing the legality of the special counsel’s investigation, the constitutional scope of executive power, and how to thoroughly question the nominee’s views on these subjects.

July 17: The Road from Janus to Roe: What the Supreme Court’s Disregard of Precedent Could Mean for All of Us

Hours before Justice Kennedy announced his retirement, the Supreme Court handed down its decision in Janus v. AFSCME, overturning a 40-year-old precedent that had served as the bedrock of American labor law and demonstrating what Justice Kagan described in her dissent as “little regard for the usual principles of stare decisis.” What does this disregard for stare decisis mean as we evaluate President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee? Join ACS on July 17 at 3:00pm ET for a briefing that will provide an overview of the Janus decision, forecast what’s next for American workers, and place the decision in the larger context of what the decision may mean for other long-established precedents that Americans have come to rely upon, including Roe v. Wade.

August 24: Texas vs. the DREAMers, Again

In October 2012, President Obama announced the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program (“DACA”), which allowed qualifying young people who were brought to the United State as children to request that any removal action against them be deferred in the exercise of prosecutorial discretion. Subsequent programs (Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (“DAPA”) and the 2014 “expanded DACA”) were preliminarily enjoined by a Texas federal judge, whose decision was affirmed by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and ultimately by an evenly divided U.S. Supreme Court. Now the Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, and 10 other state Attorneys General have written to Attorney General Sessions indicating their intent to challenge the 2012 DACA in court unless the administration agrees to rescind the program by September 5, 2017.

Join ACS for a discussion about what's at stake in the battle over DACA, the program's legality, and what can be done to preserve it.

May 22: San Francisco - Voting Rights Institute with Pam Karlan and Gerry Hebert

The Supreme Court’s 2013 decision in Shelby County v. Holder effectively nullified a key provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, the most effective civil rights law ever enacted. As a result, attorneys and activists play a key role working with voters to protect their rights against discriminatory voting laws. The Voting Rights Institute, a project of ACS, the Campaign Legal Center, and the Georgetown Law Center, has trained nearly 900 lawyers and law students nationwide.
This is an important training opportunity for lawyers who want to do pro bono work related to voting rights. This training will include an overview of voting rights legislation and case law, examples of the ways in which state and local governments are infringing upon the right to vote, information for attendees who want to identify obstacles to voting, and how to fix them.

May 9: NYC - Police Accountability: Policing without Permission #MCLE

Over the past few years, the collective attention of the nation has focused on concerns about policing. New surveillance techniques affect all of us. Policing is increasingly militarized. And many policing tactics, such as the use of force, and stop and frisk, fall particularly heavily on communities of color and the poor. While these concerns are not new, renewed attention has provided a platform for those calling for reforms of policing tactics and increased police accountability. At the same time, there also are expressions of concern that police be permitted to do their jobs without endangering their safety.
Join the ACS New York Lawyer Chapter for a conversation at the offices of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP about the ways in which we can increase police accountability, while ensuring police are able to do their jobs.

March 9: Webcast - Symposium on Policing in a New Political Era #MCLE

The strained relationship between police and communities of color is certainly not new, but has gained renewed attention due in part to several high-profile cases of police misconduct and the resulting public outcry. The Obama Administration responded to the crisis by investigating police departments accused of systematically failing to uphold the Constitution, sending mediators to communities in crisis, and establishing a Task Force to recommend best practices that maintain public safety while building public trust between communities and police. Now, after years in which the federal government took an active role in trying to address police misconduct and accountability, the Trump Administration has signaled a return to more traditional law and order policies.
Join ACS and New America on Thursday, March 9, for a symposium with a cross section of policing experts who will examine the current state of policing, the institutional and legal critiques central to the debate around police accountability, and the reforms that are needed and politically feasible to address police misconduct.
