Featuring an all-star faculty, including a Pulitzer Prize-winning author who was counsel to the U.S. House of Representatives, a former Counsel to the President of the United States during perhaps the most difficult period of our history, and a past Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Virginia, this program offers a one-of-a-kind, truly immersive Continuing Legal Education (CLE) experience. Participants will receive practical guidance and historical perspectives useful for any attorney dealing with constitutional issues involving Executive Orders and Executive Actions, regardless of the nature of the case. Additionally, participants will take a unique look into George Washington's governing philosophy as it related to Executive authority and the ongoing actions of modern day courts to heed his words. Featured faculty include Jeremy D. Bailey, Douglas Bradburn, Kate Elizabeth Brown, The Honorable Ken Cuccinelli, John W. Dean, Michael S. Greve, Edward J. Larson, Ilya Somin, and more.
