OBJECTION! Current Contentious and Confusing Legal Battles (Devonshire)
TV shows and films about the law make the legal profession seem exciting and glamorous. Discover how real law can be even more stimulating than its dramatic facsimile. This series continues to focus on selected current, highly publicized, volatile and contentious legal and constitutional issues presented in important selected cases pending before, or just decided by, federal and state trial and appellate courts, as well as the U.S. Supreme Court.
Until we can return to interactive in-person discussions, OLLI's new Zoom platform has permitted us to seek continuing stimulating interactive colloquy upon newly emerging important and contentious developing legal issues to better understand the often disparate and confusing legal positions of all opposing parties in contentious and vitally important topics affecting us, our families, and our Nation.
In this context, I anticipate this Spring semester will continue our considerations of: a post-Trump legal and Constitutional environment in both national and international settings; emerging legal and Constitutional conundrums involving both Mr. Trump, as well as his many associates, in both Federal and State court environments; expected emerging material conflicts amongst trial and appellate federal courts resulting from disparate judicial viewpoints by a plethora of recently appointed federal judges; and many more issues implicated by the apparent increasingly polarized views of our Supreme Court justices.
New enrollees are invited to attend and view a pre-lecture primer at 2 p.m. on Thursday, March 25, 2021, outlining the structure of federal and state appellate court processes. Returning participants are also always welcome to attend.
Please note that this is a live interactive Zoom Class, and will also be available for OLLI Video On Demand.
