Zoom Webinar
These days the current administration is invoking and testing its executive powers on what seems like a daily basis. This presents both a challenge and an opportunity for law school faculty striving to connect doctrine with real-world legal developments. The roadmap Project 2025 outlines, together with the president’s executive orders, shape governance, policy, the news cycle, and public conversation. Law professors must grapple with how to effectively incorporate these contemporary issues into their classrooms. They also must consider how to fit all of the work into one semester and how to navigate the emotions and well-being of students at this chaotic time. This webinar will explore strategies for engaging students with these dynamic legal and political developments in courses such as Indian law, family law, and legal research. Panelists will share the ways in which they have included conversations about Project 2025 and executive orders into their classrooms this Spring semester. Please join us for a lively look into important pedagogical issues.
This event is co-sponsored by Roger Williams University School of Law, City University of New York School of Law, George Washington University Law School, Berkeley Law, JURIST, and Antiracist Development Institute.
