ACS Nebraska: 2026 Spring Brief: The Law is No Obstacle - Discussing One Year of the New Unitary Executive
Please join the ACS Nebraska Lawyer Chapter for a discussion on the past year of executive branch actions, the differences between the past status quo of executive branch power, and the current administration's assertion of the executive branch's authority. This conversation will center on whether we are experiencing the endpoint of the unitary executive theory of constitutional law.
The Nebraska Lawyer Chapter Brief Series is an interactive event that focuses on conversation between attendees and panel members. Our goal is to have the conversation speak to the pervasive feeling that, while prior administrations have taken aggressive (and sometimes blatantly unconstitutional) positions, the current state of executive branch authority feels very different than before.
Panelist:
- Kyle Langvardt, Associate Professor of Law and ACS Faculty Advisor, University of Nebraska College of Law
- Eric Berger, Earl Dunlap Distinguished Professor of Law and ACS Faculty Advisor, University of Nebraska College of Law
- Adam Garzoli, Assistant Professor, Creighton University School of Law
Registration is suggested, but not required. The ACS Nebraska Lawyer Chapter will cover the first $200 in food and drink.
