Join us on Tuesday, July 23rd from 6:30-8:30pm for a discussion on the current state of the Supreme Court. Our expert panel will 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 presentation will offer 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 would be to cover 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.
This event will be a two (2) hour program at 6:30pm EST offering 2 NYS ethics CLE Credits to attorneys who attend. Non-attorneys and those not seeking credit are also welcome to attend for free! (please email [email protected] to reserve your spot)!
