for this free virtual event
Corruption has always marred American politics and government. Once, it was reflected in Tammany Hall politicians stuffing their pockets. Later, it was felt in a money-drenched campaign finance system that enabled systemic abuse rather than personal gain.
Now we are living through a new era of corruption, one that combines personal self-dealing and vast funds pouring into the political process. Whether it is the crypto industry dominating Congress, the world’s wealthiest man largely paying for the winning presidential campaign, regulatory decisions used to pressure businesses, or the government quashing a bribery investigation of a top official, it is a fusion of public power and private gain.
Legal guardrails have crumbled. What should come next? Join us for a virtual discussion about how to eradicate American corruption.
Speakers: Jane Mayer, Staff Writer, The New Yorker // Daniel I. Weiner, Director, Brennan Center Elections and Government Program // Moderator: Michael Waldman, President and CEO, Brennan Center

State courts and constitutions are increasingly in the spotlight as significant sources of rights. In areas ranging from abortion to education to property rights, many state constitutions offer protections that are distinct from and often more expansive than those found in the U.S. Constitution.
Join the Brennan Center, State Court Report, and the Northwestern University Law Review for a two-day symposium at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law exploring the future of state constitutional rights, including the substantive rights protected by state constitutions, state constitutional amendments, and emerging issues in areas such as LGBTQ+ rights and voting rights.
Produced in partnership with State Court Report and the Northwestern University Law Review
Illinois CLE credit for this event is pending. If approved, credit will be offered to in-person participants.
