In recent years the Supreme Court has decided critically important executive power and administrative law cases. From agency deference and adjudication, to presidential immunity, to “jaw boning”—what does it all mean for the future of the presidency and the administrative state the president oversees? How might the country’s new president approach these issues?Featuring:Steven Engel, Partner, Dechert LLPJack Goldsmith, Learned Hand Professor of Law at Harvard UniversitySarah Harris, Partner, Williams & Connolly LLPModerator: Hon.

Nearly twenty five years after the election of Governor Jeb Bush, the Florida state courts have transformed. Previously, many state judges had a more activist, progressive view of the role of a judge. Today, many state judges hold originalist and textualists views of judicial interpretation. Our panel will consider the last 25 years of judicial appointments in Florida, discussing how the roles of the executive, the JNC, and the conservative legal movement have contributed to these transformations. They will discuss how the Florida Supreme Court today differs from the Court that ruled on Bush v. Gore in 2000.

Opaque algorithms shape what news stories you see on social media, dictate how artificial intelligence answers prompts, and can even decide whether applicants get a mortgage or a job interview. Amidst claims of algorithmic race, gender, and viewpoint discrimination, more and more individuals of all political affiliations are calling for greater government regulation of algorithms, while regulatory skeptics worry that government intervention will impede important technological innovation. This panel will explore the wisdom of efforts to regulate algorithms and how best to frame concerns about algorithmic errors and bias.Featuring:Prof. Gregory Dickinson, Assistant Professor of Law, University of Nebraska–Lincoln College of LawMr. Dhruva Krishna, Visiting Jurist, University of California Los Angeles School of LawProf. Christina Mulligan, Professor of Law, Brooklyn Law SchoolProf. Eugene Volokh, Thomas M.

Students for Fair Admission v. Harvard was the most important decision on affirmative action in generations, banning preferential treatment based on race in higher education admissions. How are colleges and universities complying with SFFA? What else will be necessary in order to ensure compliance? What does the next generation of cases look like? Outside of higher education, what will be the effect of SFFA? Does it apply to employment and contracting? Does it apply to gender as well as race?

A terrible example. I have seen video of lab tests of that Audi model that supported the claims of victims. Occam's Razor would lead anyone to consider the likelihood of a new technology to create unintended consequences MUCH more likely than that dozens and dozens of unrelated people around the world have engaged in wildly inexplicable behavior. Under what circumstances would someone crash into a whole row of cars? What would cause a person to accelerate into and through the rear wall of their own garage, over the body of their 10 year-old son? (This last happened in one case not mentioned here.) There's plenty of junk science presented in courts. This is a bad example.
