SUMMARY:Reporting at a Crossroads: National Security\, Democracy\, and the Challenges to a Free Press
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \n \n  \nA free and independent press has long been understood as a core element of healthy and secure democracies. Particularly in the realm of national security and foreign policy\, news reporting and investigations are an integral source of information that enables the American public to evaluate the decisions of their elected officials. Yet today the press is facing new or newly acute challenges arising from the executive branch\, Congress\, and even the media industry itself—all unfolding against the backdrop of an already-siloed and mistrustful information landscape. \nWhat is it like to lead a newsroom and report on national security issues today? Which legal issues are top of mind for media and free speech lawyers and scholars? What are the most pressing challenges and opportunities? On May 18\, the Reiss Center on Law and Security and Just Security convened a discussion with frontline experts. \nA recording of the podcast can be found on the Just Security Podcast. \nEvent Details\nMonday\, May 18\, 2026\n1:00–2:00 p.m. EST\nVirtual Event \n  \nSpeakers\n\nRebecca Hamilton\, Professor of Law\, American University Washington College of Law\nDavid McCraw\, Senior Vice President and Deputy General Counsel\, The New York Times\nBen Pauker\, National Security Editor\, The Washington Post\nMissy Ryan\, Staff Writer\, The Atlantic\nKate Brannen (Moderator)\, Non-Resident Journalism Fellow\, Reiss Center on Law and Security\n\n

SUMMARY:Facts\, Pretexts\, and Judicial Scrutiny of Executive Power
DESCRIPTION:[youtube id=”wa-rmVWUmKU” width=”600″ height=”350″ autoplay=”no” api_params=”” class=””] \n  \n \nEvent Details:  \nWednesday\, April 1\, 2026 \n1:10–2:25 p.m. \n  \nThis event has been approved to offer one New York State CLE credit in the category of Areas of Professional Practice.  \n  \nHistorically\, federal courts have deferred significantly to the factual determinations and decision-making processes of the executive branch\, especially in the national security context. But as the current administration invokes an expanding set of emergency or extraordinary powers—in efforts to deploy military forces for domestic purposes\, to levy tariffs\, to deport individuals\, to undertake military operations abroad—many of the factual claims supporting these exercises of power have increasingly been contested. Given this trend\, how are courts now evaluating contested facts and traditional deference? How should they be? Should judges distinguish between different administrations in their approach? To the extent that judicial skepticism of the executive’s facts and decision-making is increasing\, what broader implications might that have for government lawyers advising their policy clients or handling civil and criminal cases? What\, if anything\, is the role for Congress? \nThe Reiss Center on Law and Security was honored to co-host this discussion with leading experts on this pressing and underexplored set of questions that touch at the heart of national security\, executive power\, and the relationship among the branches of government. \nThis Forum is co-hosted by the Reiss Center on Law and Security. \nSpeakers\nChristopher Fonzone\, Former Assistant Attorney General\, Office of Legal Counsel\, US Department of Justice; Non-Resident Senior Fellow\, Reiss Center on Law and Security\, NYU School of Law \nThomas B.

SUMMARY:All the President’s Power: What’s Left of Checks and Balances?
DESCRIPTION:All The President’s Power: What’s Left of Checks and Balances? \nEvent Details:  \nWednesday\, October 22\, 2025 \n1:10–2:25 p.m. \n  \nWith a series of recent decisions\, the US Supreme Court has invested the president and executive branch with a level of power and autonomy unprecedented in American history.  From the scope of immunity granted in Trump v. United States to a collection of rulings—some final\, some provisional—on the president’s right to remove heads of independent agencies\, shutter entire operations\, decline to disburse congressionally approved funds\, and more\, one cannot help asking: Is the notion of checks and balances—so long a foundational premise of Con Law and civics classes—effectively a dead letter? Are there any meaningful constraints left on the ability of a president to do as he pleases?  At this Forum\, a panel of experts on presidential power attempted to provide answers. \nCo-hosted by the Reiss Center on Law and Security \nSpeakers\n\nBob Bauer: Professor of Practice and Distinguished Senior Fellow\, Reiss Center on Law and Security\, NYU Law; White House Counsel\, 2009–11\nGillian Metzger: Professor\, Columbia Law School; Acting Assistant Attorney General and Deputy Assistant Attorney General\, Office of Legal Counsel\, US Department of Justice\, 2023–24\nMichael W.

SUMMARY:The Double Black Box: National Security\, Artificial Intelligence\, and the Struggle for Democratic Accountability
DESCRIPTION:[youtube id=”oVCR9yMUDY4″ width=”600″ height=”350″ autoplay=”no” api_params=”” class=””] \n  \n \nRapid advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning are increasingly vital to the conduct of national security\, as countries like the United States seek to harness these tools to ensure their own efficiency\, global competitiveness\, and military superiority. Yet their advent threatens to exacerbate an existing paradox within our democracy: some of the most consequential decisions made in the name of national security are often the least transparent and accountable. \nIn her new book The Double Black Box\, Ashley Deeks draws from her seasoned legal career at senior levels in the executive branch and academia to unpack this critical emerging challenge. She examines how we can ensure democratic accountability and legality in the use of artificial intelligence tools within national security processes; which traditional and nontraditional checks might be brought to bear; and the public law values that should undergird our approach. \nOn October 20\, the Reiss Center on Law and Security hosted a virtual discussion on these and other developments at the intersection of AI and national security. Deeks was joined in conversation by our non-resident senior fellow Beth George ’10\, former Acting General Counsel of the U.S. Department of Defense and a partner leading the strategic risk management practice at Freshfields. \nEvent Details:\nMonday\, October 20\, 2025\n3:00–4:00 p.m. EST\nVirtual Event \n  \nThis event has been approved to offer one New York State CLE credit in the category of Cybersecurity\, Privacy\, and Data Protection – General. \n  \n \n \nCLE Readings\n\nAshley Deeks. “’The Double Black Box:’ Confronting the Double Black Box.” University of Virginia Miller Center. https://millercenter.org/double-black-box/using-checks. \nAshley Deeks. “’The Double Black Box:’ Losing Public Law Values.” University of Virginia Miller Center. https://millercenter.org/double-black-box/losing-public-law-values. \nAshley Deeks. “’The Double Black Box:’ Using Non-Traditional Checks.” University of Virginia Miller Center. https://millercenter.org/double-black-box/confronting-double-black-box. \n“Removing Barriers to American Leadership in Artificial Intelligence.” The White House.

SUMMARY:What’s Next for U.S. Diplomacy and Foreign Assistance?
DESCRIPTION:[youtube id=”macAoYCWNy0″ width=”600″ height=”350″ autoplay=”no” api_params=”” class=””] \n \n  \nThe State Department has released a reorganization plan that would usher in significant changes to the way the United States conducts its diplomacy and foreign assistance\, at a time of considerable geopolitical change. Proposals by the Trump administration include eliminating or restructuring a number of the Department’s longstanding functions\, dissolving and/or folding USAID into State\, and imposing large budget and staffing cuts. \nDebates over how to structure and optimize the State Department\, and U.S. foreign assistance programs in particular\, are nothing new. But important questions remain about these proposals—including how they may interact with Congressional prerogatives; their implications for the conduct of U.S. foreign policy amidst compounding global crises; and\, ultimately\, whether these changes may herald a more streamlined and effective bureaucracy or undermine U.S. diplomatic power. \nOn May 14\, the Reiss Center on Law and Security and Just Security convened an expert panel to consider these vitally important developments and to unpack what’s happening\, what’s at stake\, and what lies ahead. \nEvent Details\nWednesday\, May 14\, 2025\n12:00–1:00 p.m.\nVirtual Event \n \n \nSpeakers\n\nAmb.

At this Forum\, experts who have served in senior positions in the White House and DOJ will assess the degree to which that has now changed. Among the topics they’ll discuss: What is the origin of and reason for DOJ’s measure of independence? How has this worked as a practical matter given the department’s mix of political and career employees\, and how is the current administration observing those lines? What lessons should we draw from the case against Mayor Eric Adams? And what can other institutional actors\, including judges and legislators\, do in response to the unfolding developments? \n  \nCo-hosted by the Reiss Center on Law and Security\, NYU Law\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPANELISTS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVanita Gupta ’01 \nDistinguished Scholar in Residence\, NYU Law; Associate Attorney General of the US\, 2021–24\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLisa Monaco \nDistinguished Scholar in Residence\, Reiss Center on Law and Security\, NYU Law; Deputy Attorney General of the US\, 2021–25\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBreon Peace ’96 \nUS Attorney\, Eastern District of New York\, 2021–25\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMODERATOR\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrevor Morrison \nDean Emeritus\, Eric M. and Laurie B.
