Programs will be added regularly to the ongoing series, which will feature nonpolitical, nonpartisan programming focused on support for the rule of law and the role lawyers and courts play in defending the constitutional framework and democratic processes, as well as topics that more broadly address the legal implications of recent administrative changes, court rulings and more.
A real-world example of the issues that will be explored in the series is the impact of recent presidential executive orders on the legal profession and the country.
- “First 60 Days of the New Administration: Immigration Law Key Changes and Impacts” — Seasoned immigration attorneys will discuss Trump administration policies surrounding employment-based, family-based and humanitarian immigration.

April 1, 1 p.m. EDT - “Don’t Say Gay in the Library: Media Censorship, Librarian Rights and Defending the LGBTQ Community” — LGBTQ-content challenges and book bans have been on the increase, which raises questions about librarian legal rights, potential violation of students’ and patrons’ First Amendment rights and the legal impact of censorship on the LGBTQ community. Panelists will explore the legal ramifications of LGBTQ media censorship, issues faced by school and public librarians and how lawyers can fight back to protect both the LGBTQ community and librarians’ constitutional rights.
April 29, 1 p.m. EDT
