Coming June 25: The Constitution, the Supreme Court and the Executive Branch – Where Are We Today?
Sold out.
Our speaker, Garrett Epps, a nationally renowned Constitutional scholar, law professor, podcaster and journalist, formerly with The Atlantic and now the Washington Monthly, will provide perspective on current events with the Supreme Court and Executive Branch.
In the first 100 days in office, President Trump issued 137 executive orders, resulting in 227 lawsuits challenging his executive orders. Professor Garrett Epps will explore the constitutional context of this historic time and help us understand what it means to all of us.
