No one wished the pandemic upon us, of course, and the sooner the better it's history, we'll all be thankful. But, in the meantime, given the present reality, here is something to be thankful for in November, aside from Thanksgiving.
The Federalist Society’s annual convention is always an opportunity to learn and to be stimulated, and this year's 2020 National Lawyers Convention, which will be hosted all next week as a free virtual conference, is no exception. All events, including a just-added address by Justice Alito, are online, open to the public, and free of charge (there is a nominal fee for a substantial amount of CLE).
Please review the schedule of events and register HERE for all panels you would like to attend – each panel has a unique registration link so please register accordingly. Or you can simply access the live stream on the date and time of the most interesting events via the FedSoc website, YouTube, Facebook, or Twitter.
Justice Alito will deliver the keynote address next Thursday at 8:00 p.m. eastern time. Other Convention highlights include addresses by Judge Janice Rogers Brown (ret.) and Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia, along with a nearly endless list of panel discussions:
· Religious Liberty and the New Court
· EPA Turns 50: A Debate on Environmental Progress and Regulatory Overreach
· Prosecutorial Discretion, Partisanship, and the Rule of Law
· Regulatory Practice and Oversight in 2021 and Beyond
· Rule of Law, or Just Making it Up? First Amendment Tiered Scrutiny
· Freedom of Association in the Legal Profession
· Regulating Social Media
· Are MDL Judges Too Powerful?
· The Law, China, and the Possible New Cold War
· Agency Leaders on Labor Policy
· Intellectual Property Rights and the Rule of Law
· Modern Quandaries of Law Enforcement
· The Future of the Second Amendment’s Right to Keep and Bear Arms: From the Supreme Court to Social Unrest in the Streets
· Agency Leaders on Cryptocurrency, Blockchain, and the Evolution of a Central Bank Digital Currency
· Emergency Powers and the Rule of Law
Usually the registration price is quite steep -- but well worth it. This year the entire Convention is free to attend and is open to the public.
I heartily recommend you check out the agenda and register.
