  The Court We Need: Why the Supreme Court is Worth Saving—Especially from Itself with Professor Steven I. Vladeck

  Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law

  For all of the ink that has been spilled over the Supreme Court in recent years, no one has been able to bridge the growing divide between those who think we should bury the Court and those who think we should praise it. Meanwhile, public faith in the Court continues to decline. The result has been an erosion of the Court’s moral authority and an impasse about how to restore it at the exact moment when we most need it—with the other institutions of government increasingly unable or unwilling to check each other. Now, more than ever, we need a Supreme Court that has, and that has earned, widespread popular support. For two centuries, that was the Supreme Court we had. It’s no longer the Supreme Court we have. But it is very much the Supreme Court we need, and this talk will explain how we get there from here.

  Dean Melanie Leslie’s Office

  Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, Melanie B. Leslie, and Michael Herz

  Join Dean Leslie and Professor Michael Herz to discuss presidential executive orders. On Inauguration Day, President Trump revoked 78 existing executive orders in one fell swoop and started signing new ones at a frenetic pace. There has never been quite such an attention-getting spree of these directives. Executive orders are not new; every President since George Washington has issued them. But they are often misunderstood. Professor Herz will discuss the history, nature, and effect of executive orders. The two will also answer questions raised by student attendees.
