Please join us tomorrow, Tuesday, June, 23, 2020 (12 noon Hawaii Time) for a (free!) webinar. We’ll analyze the latest on “Lockdowns, testing and tracking: Are they all really legal?”
We’ll be joining constitutional lawyer Jeff Portnoy and Dr. Keli’i Akina for the program, sponsored by the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii. Sign up now, space limited!
We’ll be discussing the legal questions that have arisen from the shut-down orders, including takings, state-law limitations, and the two federal court lawsuits that are pending. supplemental orders under the automatic termination provision (among other claims) (see here and here for the complaints).
We’ve written up our thoughts on these issues in two articles, “Hoist the Yellow Flag and Spam® Up: The Separation of Powers Limitation on Hawaii’s Emergency Authority,” 43 U. Haw. L. Rev. ___ (forthcoming 2020) (download from SSRN at the link), and “Evaluating Emergency Takings: Flattening The Economic Curve.”
Come with your questions and comments. See you online tomorrow.
