Conflicted: Supreme Court Ethics and the Future of Voting Rights - On Demand!

NYDLC is proud to offer the opportunity to view our hit CLE program "Conflicted: Supreme Court Ethics and the Future of Voting Rights" on demand, so you can watch whenever you'd like!   This program, broadcasted live on July 23, 2024, brought together leading academic and election law professionals to review recent ethical lapses by specific justices, how conflict of interest has been handled historically at the Supreme Court, and what their partisan biases might mean for the future of certain high profile voting rights cases.

The panel offers a discussion of the current state of the Supreme Court, recent ethical lapses by specific justices, how conflict of interest has been handled historically at the Supreme Court and what their ideological biases might mean for the future of certain high profile voting rights cases.  The agenda for this program covers the background of how ethical issues have been handled at the Supreme Court, specific ethical issues occurring now and how the model rules apply, a focused discussion on a couple high profile voting rights cases, and then a final section on how the justices' recent conflicts of interest could impact future voting rights cases.

John Freedman, who worked on Alexander v. South Carolina NAACP at the Supreme Court, as well as Elisabeth Frost, who worked on the Brnovich v. DNC case, speak about their experiences leading up to the impactful decisions, both of which were ultimately authored by Justice Samuel Alito, while he was engaged in some of the controversial conduct now being discussed in the news.
