Panel I: Regional Strategy & Competing Conflicts
June 14, 2024 20:52 - 1 hour - 83.7 MBOver the past two years, a series of regional conflicts has resulted in diplomatic tensions and increased conflict. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has raised concerns about the future of Europe's diplomatic landscape.

Panel IV: Constitutions, Elections, and Procedure – (How) Can We Change How We Separate Powers?
May 20, 2024 19:02 - 1 hour - 92.3 MBSuppose we don’t like how our governmental powers are separated. Perhaps we think the executive branch has too much power. Or perhaps we think that it is doing more than the original meaning of “the executive power” would suggest, but we think that is a good thing. What are the legitimate methods of constitutional change in our republic? Must we amend the Constitution? How should an originalist approach these questions? Featuring: Prof. Sherif Girgis, Associate Professor of Law, University o...
Panel III: The Judicial Power and Evaluating Judicial Supremacy
May 20, 2024 18:59 - 1 hour - 86.1 MBNew presidential administrations start with a flurry of administrative actions. These fresh rules, guidelines, and procedures in turn face judicial scrutiny from the moment they are finalized. Oversight from the judiciary can keep agencies accountable and within the bounds of the law. But when judges get the final say on everything the executive does, policies can take years—even decades—to implement and can fluctuate wildly with the ebbs and flows of litigation. Has something gone awry with ...
Panel II: The Executive Power, the Legislative Power, and the Administrative State
May 20, 2024 17:46 - 1 hour - 96.1 MBMany critics of modern administrative law want a world where Congress does more things, and the executive does less—which would lead to relative stability across administrations. Simultaneously, many also want their vote in presidential elections to have meaningful policy consequences. Between these two competing intuitions lies a tension at the heart of much contemporary political strife, which, of course, has a great deal to do with who controls Congress and who controls the White House. Fe...

Panel IV: Florida’s Tort and Insurance Reform: Past, Present, and Future
March 18, 2024 14:45 - 1 hour - 69.4 MBLawmakers and courts have been reforming Florida’s tort and insurance laws for decades. From expansion of insurance bad faith and contraction of comparative fault in the 1990’s, to restrictions on medical malpractice suits in the 2000’s, to changes in tort and insurance litigation in the 2020’s, the legal landscape shifted dramatically. This panel will examine the latest reforms in the context of recent history, and it will debate where Florida policy should go from here. Featuring: Kansas...

Young Lawyers Special Session: Making Winning Arguments
March 18, 2024 14:35 - 58 minutes - 53.4 MBThe state and federal bench has transformed in recent years, with more textualist/originalist judges appointed or elected.

They will offer their perspectives on how litigation tactics might change, if at all, at the appel...

March 18, 2024 14:30 - 1 hour - 75 MBThe citizen-initiative process allows the People of Florida to propose amendments to the state constitution, subject to Supreme Court review.

This panel will discuss these questions and others in the context of the Adult Personal Use of Marijuana and the Amendment to Limit Government Interference with Abortion initiatives. Featuring: Da...
Panel I: Federalism and the Separation of Powers
March 18, 2024 14:25 - 1 hour - 82.9 MBIt has been said that American-style split sovereignty provides the people a “double security” for their liberties. And a distinct security too: where the Framers’ primary restraint on the avarice of the United States was the enumeration of its powers, each state is omnipotent and yet typically bound by a thicker conception of the proper ends of government. But these separate sovereigns interact in unique and sometimes puzzling ways that leave the state of the vertical separation of powers in...
Panel Three: School Choice and Trust in Education
February 28, 2024 16:11 - 1 hour - 73.8 MBTraditionally, education has been seen as instilling the common shared civic values that Americans have held for since the nation’s founding. As the educational establishment has become increasingly more progressive, many states have begun to offer alternatives to traditional public-school education, particularly in the wake of the Covid pandemic when many schools were shut down. This has included laws that allow for educational savings accounts, charter schools, and home-schooling. However...
Panel Two: Do Citizens Still Trust the Democratic Process?
February 28, 2024 16:08 - 1 hour - 80 MBFrom the 1960s onward, election lawyers on the political left focused on securing and expanding voting access. Lawyers on the political right focused on ensuring the integrity and accuracy of the voting process. Now, most academic literature suggests that there's fairly little disenfranchisement and fairly little voter fraud. Despite this evidence, the voting process has become increasingly controversial in recent years, with increasing attacks on election integrity and voting access. This ...
Panel One: Judicial Independence and Trust: Has Article III Become Too Political?
February 28, 2024 16:03 - 1 hour - 82.1 MBAll levels of the judiciary have faced increased attacks on their independence in recent years. Even trial court judges have faced increased scrutiny, particularly those in single-judge districts and those who have granted nationwide injunctions. “Reform” proposals such as adding justices, term limits, ethics codes, abolishing blue slips, and limiting the Court’s jurisdiction have been proposed by critics to limit the power of the courts. However, these proposals are nothing new: in decades p...

Panel Discussion: The Consequences of Disruption
November 20, 2023 17:10 - 1 hour - 65.7 MBCollegiality and the presumption that opposing counsel work together in good faith are bedrocks of the American legal profession, as well as unpopular ideas and clients being able to obtain competent representation and equal access to justice under the law. In recent years, there has been an increase in disruptive activity in law schools. We have seen law students declare ideas "too harmful" for open debate and try to “cancel” or “shame” anyone who challenges their views. We have also seen in...
Panel Discussion: Legal Challenges Involving Gender Identity Post-Bostock
November 20, 2023 17:00 - 1 hour - 71.3 MBLitigation and legislation involving complex issues regarding gender identity are at the forefront of public interest. States and other authorities face questions about legality, morality, or advisability of treatment for minors. Courts are being asked to adjudicate who can participate in sex-segregated sporting competitions. Advocates on all sides of these complex gender identity issues portray their position as a matter of fairness. When minors are involved all sides claim to seek to pr...

The Injunction Function: Is IP Law Promoting Markets for Innovators and Creators?
November 17, 2023 20:45 - 1 hour - 129 MBIn patent and copyright law, injunctions are now a subject of significant policy debate. Innovators say they are unable to stop predatory infringement. Creators state they are unable to stop large-scale piracy websites. If so, this undermines the rewards promised by the intellectual property system and devalues the commercial assets that drive the global innovation economy in new technologies and creative works. Others state that intellectual property owners use injunctions to hold up innovat...
Second Amendment: Will the Supreme Court Adhere to Bruen (and Originalism) in Rahimi and Beyond?
November 17, 2023 20:40 - 1 hour - 121 MBOral argument was held in U.S. v. Rahimi on November 7, 2023. The case asks whether 18 U.S.C. Section 922(g)(8), which prohibits possession of firearms by persons subject to domestic violence restraining orders violates the Second Amendment on its face. What does the Court's jurisprudence foretell about the decision? Is there an obvious originalist answer? Featuring: Prof. William G. Merkel, Associate Professor, Charleston School of Law Prof. Mark W. Smith, Senior Fellow, Ave Maria School...
Nightmare on Half Street? Free Speech and the NLRB
November 17, 2023 20:40 - 1 hour - 119 MBIs the National Labor Relations Board doing more than any other federal agency to impose broad restrictions on non-coercive speech, based exclusively on whether the speaker is an employer? Under other statutes, speech prohibitions require evidence of actual threats, unlawful retaliation or potential injury to health and safety, and the National Labor Relations Act expressly protects the right to express “views,” “argument” and “opinion” unless the message &...

22nd Annual Barbara K. Olson Memorial Lecture
November 17, 2023 20:30 - 51 minutes - 70.3 MB(Ticketed event) On September 11, 2001, at the age of 45 and at the height of her professional and personal life, Barbara K. Olson was murdered in the terrorist attacks against the United States as a passenger on the hijacked American Airlines flight that was flown into the Pentagon. The Federalist Society believes that it is most fitting to dedicate an annual lecture on limited government and the spirit of freedom to the memory of Barbara Olson. She had a deep commitment to the rule of law ...
Mere Natural Law
November 17, 2023 20:30 - 1 hour - 112 MBThe U.S. Supreme Court’s originalist jurisprudence has been on display in its most recent terms – consider the constitutional analysis in major cases like Bruen and Dobbs. But is the Court’s originalism sound? In his newly released book, Mere Natural Law, Professor Hadley Arkes argues that the Court’s ascendant mode of interpretation insufficiently relies upon the natural moral law. Critics assert that such reliance would be difficult, if not impossible, to moor to obj...
Fair Elections in an Era of Partisanship
November 17, 2023 20:25 - 1 hour - 134 MBRecent years have seen unprecedented controversies about election rules, including mail-in ballots and drop boxes, partisan and racial gerrymandering, early voting, ballot harvesting, and methods of vote counting. Because election laws have partisan consequences, the legislators who make election laws, the officials who administer elections, and the judges who decide election cases are often suspected of exercising power so as to increase their own side’s electoral chances. As we look a...

Originalism and the Communications Act of 1934
November 17, 2023 20:10 - 1 hour - 70.3 MBIn recent months, the U.S. Senate confirmed a third Democratic Commissioner at the Federal Communications Commission, putting the agency in full force for the first time since January 2021. This panel will focus on the FCC’s likely agenda as we look to 2024. It will also explore the bounds of the Communications Act of 1934, as updated by the Telecommunications Act of 1996, when applied to modern technology, areas for possible legislative reform, and how the existing regulatory authority...
SFFA and Beyond
November 17, 2023 20:07 - 1 hour - 75.4 MBThis year the Supreme Court issued its long-awaited decision in Students for Fair Admissions Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College. The Court held that the admissions programs of Harvard College and the University of North Carolina violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court’s ruling elevates a colorblind reading of the Fourteenth Amendment. In the college admissions context, the decision makes unconstitutional certain policies that would favo...
The Administrative State, Its Supporters and Its Discontents
November 17, 2023 19:45 - 1 hour - 123 MBThe administrative state - the agencies comprising the Executive Branch of the U.S. federal government - has exploded in size and reach since 1946 when President Truman signed the Administrative Procedure Act into law. The APA has been amended a bit since then, but has it kept up with current challenges? While the Executive Branch has been growing, the other two branches of government have been changing as well. Congress has increasingly tended to delegate authority to agencies. And courts ar...

Showcase Panel II: Whither Precedent?
November 17, 2023 19:35 - 1 hour - 107 MBNo one maintains that the Court has always and forever been originalist in its orientation. By any definition of "originalism," there is a vast body of case law that does not conform to it. How do and should modern originalists - and here one might specifically include lower-court judges who consider themselves originalist - handle this case law? Do non-originalist precedents count for nothing, no matter the expectations built upon them? If they count, how much do they count? Given the inter...
Religious Liberty in the Work-and-Market-place
November 17, 2023 19:05 - 1 hour - 121 MBThe Supreme Court’s decisions in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis and in Groff v. DeJoy posed issues about religious freedom in the workplace and religiously motivated speech in the marketplace. This panel will consider the cases and their implications for religious freedom, especially how future cases might apply the tests articulated by the Court for “substantial costs” to a business for making an accommodation in Groff, and for what counts as expressive messages protected again...
The Judiciary's Federalist Revival
November 17, 2023 19:00 - 1 hour - 123 MBIn recent years, the U.S. Supreme Court has emphasized the federalist nature of our national Constitution and the importance of preserving state sovereignty. This trend is evident in several of the Court's decisions – Dobbs most notable among them – that have recognized and reinforced the authority of individual states in matters of health, safety, and morals. As a result of this return to federalism, some of the nation’s most interesting and groundbreaking legal work is bei...
After Dobbs and Samia: The Potential Implications of Applying a Dobbs Lens to the Supreme Court’s Constitutional Criminal Jurisprudence
November 17, 2023 18:55 - 1 hour - 78.7 MBStare Decisis, a Latin term meaning “let it stand,” is a key element of how American law is interpreted, applied, and adjudicated. When applied, it leads courts to stand by decided cases, to uphold precedents, and/or to maintain former adjudications. How exactly that principle should be applied, however, is a topic of some debate. In Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court held that a proper application of stare decisis required an assessment of the s...
Originalist Perspectives on Ethics and the Supreme Court
November 17, 2023 18:50 - 1 hour - 122 MBArticle III of the Constitution vests the “judicial Power” in “one Supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.” Our founding document recognizes that the Supreme Court stands apart from the rest of the federal judiciary. Yet, Congress has long regulated several aspects of the high court, including its appellate jurisdiction, rules for establishing a quorum, and standards for recusal. Some critics argue that Con...
A Creature of Statute: American Antitrust Law
November 17, 2023 18:45 - 1 hour - 81.8 MBAlthough a creature of statute, American antitrust law functions in practice as a field of common law. Courts have had the preeminent role in shaping the contours of its application, imposing the “rule of reason” and defining concepts like competition and the use of economic evidence. While antitrust precedents are closely examined by practitioners and academics alike, less attention is paid to whether the developments in antitrust law over the last century are consistent with the...
Defend the Constitution, Save the Planet: The Role of Public Interest Groups in Shaping Environmental Law
November 17, 2023 18:40 - 1 hour - 122 MBThe United States adopted its modern environmental statutes in the 1970s. Among other innovations, Congress incorporated citizen suit provisions into the Clean Air, Clean Water Act, and Endangered Species Act. These created causes of action allowing individuals and interested entities to sue to enforce the environmental laws. At the same time, courts took an increasingly expansive view of the private citizen standing to challenge agency actions through the Administrative Procedures Act. For ...
Do States Enjoy a Special Solicitude?
November 17, 2023 18:35 - 1 hour - 104 MBOver the last two decades, states have played an important and increasing role in federal policymaking through state-led litigation. Unsurprisingly, a state’s Article III standing is often a hotly contested question—with increasing attention from the Supreme Court and what some might argue are scattershot results. Are states subject to traditional standing analysis, as the Court said in Biden v. Nebraska (2023)? Do they get “special solicitude,” as the Court observed i...

Hyperextension? Federal Financial Agencies & Cryptocurrency Regulation
November 17, 2023 17:45 - 1 hour - 123 MBIn recent years federal executive branch agencies have enacted a “whole of government” approach to hot-button topics like environmental, social, governance (ESG) and cryptocurrency regulation. This theory of policy administration combines the efforts of multiple executive branch agencies with different expertise and authorities toward achieving a singular objective. Some of the agencies marshaled to address cryptocurrency regulation include the Securities and Exchange Commission ...
Showcase Panel I: Roundtable: Originalism on the Ground
November 17, 2023 17:40 - 2 hours - 181 MBTrying to sort out what originalism means in practice requires integrating insights from all levels of the legal system, from academicians (both legal and historical), lawyers (from private practice, public interest, business, and government), and the bench (both trial and appellate and both state and federal). In this Roundtable, participants representing many of those elements of the legal culture offer insights on the current state of originalism in legal practice. Is there an identifiable...
