ACS Fireside Chat with Ann Marimow of the Washington Post:

The American Constitution Society Chapter at Cornell Law will be hosting this academic and community-building event. This event, an ACS Fireside Chat with Ms. Ann Marimow of the Washington Post, will educate members on legal journalism, emphasize ACS's commitment to civil discourse, allow members to discuss their learning experiences under emerging constitutional doctrines. The event will advance ACS's goal of building community among law students and advancing awareness of issues arising in the field of constitutional law.

An event where members of the American Constitution Society (ACS) and the Federalist Society (FedSoc) will come together to discuss the constitutional debate of Originalism vs. Living Constitutionalism through the lens of the landmark Supreme Court case Tennessee Valley Authority v. Hill (1978).

In TVA v. Hill, the Supreme Court halted the Tennessee Valley Authority’s dam project to protect an endangered species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This decision raised important questions about the scope of federal power and constitutional interpretation. Originalists argue that the ruling expanded federal authority beyond the framers' original intent, while proponents of Living Constitutionalism defend the decision as a necessary response to modern environmental concerns.

Please join the ACS D.C. Lawyer Chapter for a Pre-Thanksgiving Happy Hour. Spend an evening chatting with your fellow D.C. progressives in a casual setting. All are welcome!
