Description
On November 18, Gwynne Wilcox will join Dan Silverman at Cardozo to discuss her lawsuit against Trump and his administration for firing her as an NLRB commissioner. This conversation will be moderated by Professor David Rudenstine.
On January 27, 2025, President Trump removed Wilcox from the Board prior to her term’s expiration in 2028. Wilcox was the first Board Member to have been removed in 90 years of the Board's inception in 1935. Wilcox filed a lawsuit in Federal Court in Washington, DC, against President Trump challenging her unprecedented and unlawful termination based upon current statutory law and well-established Supreme Court precedent. The termination is unlawful under a 1930's SCOTUS decision that this court seems determined to overrule. Her case is still pending.
This event is being hosted by the Floersheimer Center for Constitutional Democracy, the Public Interest Law Student Association, and the Cardozo Chapters of the American Constitution Society, the National Lawyers Guild, and the Federalist Society
