The 2024 Cardozo Colloquium on Global and Constitutional Theory
Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law
The US Supreme Court is currently experiencing a significant decrease in public approval, as are several courts in many other parts of the world, such as the Israel Supreme Court and top courts in various Eastern European countries. At the same time, in certain other parts of the world, such as Western Europe, constitutional courts persist as well integrated and are widely perceived as trustworthy guarantors of workable checks and balances. The Colloquium will explore what accounts for these differences and whether the various crises concerning judicial review arise from similar or different types of circumstances. To what extent are judicial appointment and length of highest court judges’ terms in office a significant factor in the exacerbation or avoidance of contemporary crises? What role do controversies in judicial interpretation, disputes concerning the nature and scope of fundamental rights protection, increased political polarization, the hardening of divides among proponents of religious lifestyles and those committed to secularism, the finality of judicial decisions, and the levels of difficulty in amending the relevant constitution play in the context of the proliferation and containment of the aforementioned issues? What options may be available to mitigate or resolve these difficulties?

Michael Oher and "The Blind Side" of Conservatorships
Cardozo FAME Center, Bet Tzedek Civil Litigation Clinic, Cardozo Entertainment Law Society, and Cardozo Sports Law Society (CSLS)
The Michael Oher case brought to light another shocking example of the overuse of conservatorship. How did a court take away Michael Oher's basic decision-making rights, including the right to enter contracts, when he thought he was being adopted rather than consenting to a conservatorship? Who benefits from The Blind Side as well as Oher’s sports contracts and how do these arrangements compare to similar situations in which there is no guardian in place? What role do sports and entertainment lawyers have in making sure an athlete shares in the profits when his life story is told?
