The American Constitution Society at Washinton University will host a debate about the extent of presidential powers featuring professors Andrea Katz and Jed Shugerman.

This event will be an informal mixer for CUNY Law students and faculty. We believe there’s a need for more opportunities for students and professors to connect in an informal setting, and we hope this event will help foster meaningful conversations and relationships. We have arranged to have wine, beer, and hors d’oeuvres, and we’re expecting a strong turnout from students 1L through 4L. This event will be open to all students, faculty, and staff.
