for this free virtual event
The Supreme Court currently faces some of the biggest challenges in its history. The president is determined to break through the constitutional limits of executive power, and the Court’s public approval hovers near all-time lows. Will the justices stand up for the Constitution on the biggest issue facing the country, the extraordinary executive power grab?
Against this backdrop, the justices are poised to hand down rulings in key cases that will affect millions of people’s lives, including health care, education, and political representation, as well as the power of federal courts to issue nationwide injunctions. Join us for a virtual conversation with Supreme Court experts about this term’s decisions and what they mean for the rule of law at a time when democracy is under strain.
Whether you follow the Court closely or are looking to understand its role in our system of checks and balances, this discussion will provide essential context for how the Court is working today.
Speakers: Joyce Vance, Distinguished Professor of the Practice of Law, University of Alabama School of Law; Senior Fellow, Brennan Center // Cecillia Wang, National Legal Director, American Civil Liberties Union // Kim Wehle, Professor of Law, University of Baltimore School of Law // Moderator: Alicia Bannon, Director, Brennan Center Judiciary Program; Editor in Chief, State Court Report

The Trouble Between Trump and the States on Education Policy

President Trump has ordered cuts to the Department of Education and federal education funding. The brunt of these cuts will likely fall on low-income communities. The president is also demanding changes to school services and curricula, including the elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs.
However, states are required by their constitutions to provide public education, and many must meet certain standards, teach certain curricula, and offer student services. In cases where these state obligations conflict with the administration’s orders, both state and federal judges may be called on to decide whether state law provides a xxxxxx against harmful federal policies.
Join us for a discussion with education experts, moderated by State Court Report Editor in Chief Alicia Bannon. The conversation will explore how the Trump administration’s actions have affected schools, how schools are responding, and how court fights over education policy may play out.
Produced in partnership with State Court Report
Speakers: John B. King Jr., Former U.S. Secretary of Education; Chancellor, State University of New York // Aaron Saiger, Professor of Law, Fordham University // Martha Dalton, Journalist, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution // Moderator: Alicia Bannon, Director, Brennan Center Judiciary Program; Editor in Chief, State Court Report
