Dean Melanie Leslie’s Office Hours on Retribution Against Law Firms by the Trump Administration

Melanie Leslie, Jessica A. Roth, and Haiyun Damon-Feng

Join Dean Leslie and Professors Jessica Roth and Haiyun Damon-Feng to discuss President Trump’s recent attacks on lawyers, law firms and federal judges. Topics will include Trump’s executive orders issued against DEI programs at law firms, as well as orders seeking to punish specific lawyers and firms that represented his political enemies. In addition, the professors will discuss the president’s recent call for the impeachment of a federal judge who ruled against the administration, which drew a rebuke from Chief Justice John Roberts. The three will also answer questions raised by the student attendees.

The Samuel & Ronnie Heyman Center on Corporate Governance Invites you to: Taxes vs Tariffs

Heyman Center on Corporate Governance, Cardozo Business Law Society, Luís Calderón Gómez, Harlan Grant Cohen, Scott Maberry, Maria Celis, and Gregory Spak

Market participants are preparing for the tax and trade policies pursued by the second Trump administration. Regarding taxes, proposals include making expiring Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions permanent, ending green energy subsidies from the Inflation Reduction Act, and exempting certain income from taxation. Proposed tariffs range from retaliatory measures-in-kind to targeting Chinese market participation to a universal 20% import tariff. On the campaign trail, the President often presented these proposals as part of a shift of financial burdens from domestic taxpayers to foreign companies. In a panel discussion with tax and trade experts, we will seek to determine the feasibility of such an idea and the potential consequences of Republican proposals on taxes and tariffs.
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice 2025 Symposium

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice

This symposium will focus on the contrasting judicial opinions of Justices Barrett and Justice Jackson. We have planned three panel discussions covering key topics before the Court, including gun rights and presidential immunity. For the gun rights panel, we will focus on New York Pistol Association v. Bruen and Rahimi v. United States. The presidential immunity panel will discuss Trump v. United States. Lastly, we plan to have an additional panel dedicated to exploring the judicial ideologies of Justice Jackson and Justice Barrett, specifically examining how their theories of constitutional interpretation diverge from other justices.
Seeking the Cayuse Five: Imagining Reparations and Reconciliation in Oregon

Kukin Program for Conflict Resolution, Cardozo Law Institute in Holocaust and Human Rights (CLIHHR), Michael Moffitt, and Roberta Conner

In the mid-1840s, American settlers flocked westward on the Oregon Trail, unknowingly bringing with them measles and other foreign diseases to which the Cayuse peoples along the trail had no immunity. Hundreds of Cayuse children were brought to Narcissa and Marcus Whitman at the Whitman Mission for treatment, but ultimately these children could not be saved. In 1847, members of the Cayuse Tribe, acting under Cayuse law to dispose of false doctors (medicine men, or tewat), participated in an attack on the Presbyterian Whitman Mission in Walla Walla Washington, killing the Whitmans and eleven others. After a two-year pursuit, the US Government demanded the Cayuse turn over five men to be punished in exchange for a short-lived peace. The five Cayuse men – despite considerable evidence that some or none of the men had participated in the attack – were found guilty, hanged, and buried in unmarked graves. Today, their burial site remains unknown.

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

Stephen I. Vladeck

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

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.
Thinking Outside the Box: A Creative Legal Conversation

A reception will follow.
