    [2025 NLC] Showcase Panel 4: Science in the Courts After COVID and Skrmetti
    Nov 25 2025
    From litigation challenging COVID regulations to the recent legal challenges to state laws regulating transgender surgery and medications to recent actions to reassess the EPA's "Endangerment Finding," important questions have emerged about how courts should evaluate scientific claims. What are the challenges “with appealing and deferring to the authority of the expert class,” as Justice Thomas wrote in his Skrmetti concurrence? What is the role of the judge and the jury in evaluating scientific claims made by the parties?

  • [2025 NLC] Showcase Panel 3: AI for the Law, and Law for AI

    [2025 NLC] Showcase Panel 3: AI for the Law, and Law for AI
    Nov 25 2025
    The advent and rise of AI over the past several years poses radical questions for lawyers and the law. How will AI change the practice of law, including the work of law firms and inside judges’ chambers (“AI for the Law”)? And how should courts respond to the myriad legal issues implicating AI – copyright and beyond (“The Law of AI”)? Do the last five years of legal cases against social media companies tell us anything about the future of AI companies in the courts? Will there be a “techlash” against AI similar to the “techlash” against social media? How might national security concerns inform the AI legal and regulatory landscape?

    [2025 NLC] Showcase Panel 2: Immigration and Originalism
    Nov 25 2025
    What do the tools of originalism teach us about significant immigration legal issues? For example, what was the President’s authority to remove aliens at the time of the Founding? How much of immigration is left to the President versus Congress? What can originalism tell us about immigration and due process? Experts discuss cutting edge issues in immigration law and ask how and whether originalism can help provide answers.
