TV shows and films about the law make the legal profession seem exciting and glamorous. Discover how real law can be even more stimulating than its dramatic facsimile. This series continues to focus on selected current, highly publicized, volatile, and contentious legal and Constitutional issues presented in important selected cases pending before, or just decided by, federal and state trial and appellate courts, as well as the U.S. Supreme Court. In this context, the presenter anticipates that the participants shall continue important considerations of:
- Post-January 6th emerging legal and Constitutional judicial trial court and appellate decisions in both local and national settings.
- Developing legal and Constitutional conundrums involving former President Trump, as well as his appointees, associates, and even members of Congress in both Federal and State court environments resulting from the final report of the Congressional Select January 6th Committee and coextensive Department of Justice initiatives.
- Expected emerging material conflicts amongst trial and appellate federal courts resulting from disparate judicial viewpoints by a plethora of recently appointed federal judges.
- Many more issues implicated by the apparent increasingly polarized views of our Supreme Court justices resulting from recent abortion, gun rights, voting, and election constraint decisions, among other critical Constitutional issues.
Expect a volatile and peripatetic semester, assuredly not for the faint-hearted or those preferring a peaceful and benign intellectual respite. Immediately prior to the first lecture, enrollees are invited to attend a pre-lecture primer at 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday, March 6th, outlining the structure of federal and state appellate court processes. Returning participants are also always welcome to attend. Note: There is no video catch-up available for this series.
