Champions of Law & Integrity: The Dual Sate with UChicago Law Professor Aziz Huq

April 7, 2026, 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm, Hazel 329

The American Constitution Society and Muslim Law Students Association invite you to join us in this week's installment of the Champions of Law and Integrity series, (virtually) hosting University of Chicago Law School's Professor Aziz Huq for a discussion on the "Dual State". Professor Huq will explain how unchecked prerogative power can grow inside a democracy even while the regular legal system seems to be running normally. We will explore how this split shows up in modern law, from the expansion of presidential immunity to the lawless, discretionary zones of border enforcement and national security exceptions where traditional constitutional rights often disappear. Shawarmas will be served, with a vegan falafel and gluten free option available, and you can join the zoom at: https://gmu.zoom.us/j/95802973152?pwd=hbBztvb0xEadHIOpZZLApLn7DEugdr.1
