Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice Symposium

Welcome to the Journal of Equal Rights and Social Justice Symposium! This symposium will focus on the contrasting judicial opinions of Justices Barrett and Justice Jackson. We have planned three panel discussions covering key topics before the Court,including gun rights and presidential immunity. For the gun rights panel, we intend to focus on New York Pistol Association v. Bruen and Rahimi v. United States. The presidential immunity panel will discuss Trump v. United States. Lastly, we plan to have an additional panel dedicated to exploring the judicial ideologies of Justice Jackson and Justice Barrett, specifically examining how their theories of constitutional interpretation diverge from other justices.

This event will feature seven highly esteemed speakers, such as Pulitzer Prize winner Linda Greenhouse, Constitutional Law experts Eric M. Freedman, Earl M. Maltz, and Michael Waldman and Gun Rights Specialists Mark Anthony Frassetto, William Araiza, and Christina Feege.

The event will be moderated by Cardozo Law Professors: David Rudenstine, Haiyun Demon-Feng, and Michael Pollack.
