Please join us and a panel of expert speakers including our friend and colleague Tony Della Pelle (see the flyer for the complete list), this Thursday, September 10, 2020 at 1pm Eastern Time for the ABA-produced webinar "Governmental Emergency Powers and the Constitutional Implications Arising from Pandemic Orders."
Free to ABA members, a modest cost for those who are not. Register here.
Here's the plan:
In the wake of the unprecedented global pandemic, every level of government has taken steps to address the public health crisis. These steps have manifested in orders which impact businesses and individuals alike including quarantine orders, travel restrictions, occupancy limitations, and restrictions on movement. This is the not the first pandemic, nor the first national crisis, faced by the United States. There have been several lawsuits filed challenging the constitutionality of the COVID-19 orders, including challenges based on the right to travel, the right to associate, the right to free exercise of religion, and other federal and state constitutional provisions. This panel of litigation practitioners will provide the constitutional and statutory context for governmental emergency powers, then will identify how those principles inform an analysis of the Covid-19 orders. The panel will discuss the lawsuits challenging the orders and the current jurisprudence.Faculty:Sign up, join us, and add to the conversation!
