Speech, Guns, and Federal Power: How Young Emerging Leaders Perceive Recent and Future Constitutional Change
September 26, 2023 at 7 p.m.
In recent years, the U.S. Supreme Court has reshaped key aspects of American law, including First Amendment speech protections, firearms regulation under the Second Amendment, and the Executive Branch’s powers to implement laws. The Court appears poised to continue reshaping these fields in the coming term through a set of potentially transformative cases. In observation of Constitution Day, Associate Director Dr. Barbara Ballard will lead a panel of emerging leaders in the legal profession – each of whom are former members of the Dole Institute’s Student Advisory Board – to discuss these changes and how they see the profession evolving in the coming years.
