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. McConnell: Visiting Professor of Law\, NYU Law; Professor and Director of Constitutional Law Center\, Stanford Law School; Judge\, US Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit\, 2002–09\nTrevor Morrison (Moderator): Professor\, Dean Emeritus\, and Faculty Co-Director\, Reiss Center on Law and Security\, NYU Law; Associate White House Counsel\, 2009

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. Daniel Fried\, Weiser Family Distinguished Fellow\, Atlantic Council; Former Assistant Secretary of State for Europe; Former State Department Coordinator for Sanctions Policy \nHon. Dafna H. Rand\, Former Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy\, Human Rights\, and Labor; Former Director\, State Department Office of Foreign Assistance\nMichael Schiffer\, Former Assistant Administrator\, USAID Bureau for Asia; Former Senior Advisor and Counselor\, Senate Foreign Relations Committee\nMichael Wahid Hanna (Moderator)\, U.S. Program Director\, International Crisis Group; Non-Resident Senior Fellow\, Reiss Center on Law and Security

SUMMARY:The Department of Justice Then and Now
DESCRIPTION:[youtube id=”8VqeNRAgNbA” width=”600″ height=”350″ autoplay=”no” api_params=”” class=””] \n  \n \nThe Department of Justice Then and Now \nWednesday\, March 5\, 2025 \n1:10 p.m. – 2:25 p.m. \nFind the recording here. \n  \nEvent Description & Participants:  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresidents have long pursued policy prerogatives through the Department of Justice\, but traditionally there’s been a clear dividing line between those and DOJ enforcement decisions. 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.

SUMMARY:NYU Law Forum: Social Media\, Government Jawboning\, and the First Amendment
DESCRIPTION:[youtube id=”YAmUlnqYkDQ” width=”600″ height=”350″ autoplay=”no” api_params=”” class=””] \n  \n \nRecent issues of major public concern (the COVID pandemic; threats to the secure administration of federal elections) have engendered a wave of mis- and disinformation\, often spread virally through social media platforms. This has highlighted a vital but unsettled question in US law: When can the government act to persuade social media companies to alter their content moderation policies and/or take down certain speech\, and when do those efforts cross into violations of the First Amendment? The debate over this practice\, often called government “jawboning\,” will come to a head in Murthy v. Missouri\, set to be argued before the Supreme Court on March 18. \nMurthy poses a number of questions that defy easy answer\, driving at the heart of how we wish to construct and regulate what some consider to be the modern public square. At this Forum\, experts with experience in government lawyering\, private platforms\, and free speech advocacy examined major issues raised by the case and what’s at stake. \nThis Forum was co-hosted by the Reiss Center on Law and Security and Just Security. \nThis event has been approved for 1 New York State CLE credit in the category of Areas of Professional Practice. The credit is both transitional and non-transitional; it is appropriate for both experienced and newly admitted attorneys. \n  \nWednesday\, March 6\, 2024\n1:10 – 2:25 p.m. EST\nHybrid Event \n  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nSpeakers: \n\nJameel Jaffer\, Executive Director\, Knight First Amendment Institute\, Columbia University; Executive Editor\, Just Security\nKathryn Ruemmler\, Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel\, Goldman Sachs; former White House Counsel to President Barack Obama\nColin Stretch\, Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary\, Etsy; former General Counsel\, Facebook (now Meta)\nRyan Goodman (moderator)\, Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Professor of Law\, NYU School of Law; Faculty Co-Director\, Reiss Center on Law and Security; Founding Co-Editor-in-Chief\, Just Security

DESCRIPTION:[youtube id=”jCOBTEEfLVY” width=”600″ height=”350″ autoplay=”no” api_params=”” class=””] \n  \n \n\nThe surveillance authorities contained in Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act are set to expire on December 31\, 2023\, unless Congress acts to renew them. Long regarded by the U.S. government as an indispensable national security tool necessary for averting threats posed by foreign terrorists and other external actors\, the law has also long been criticized by rights advocates as unduly infringing on the privacy rights of Americans\, among other concerns. As the sunset of Section 702 fast approaches\, unlikely political alliances have emerged on Capitol Hill\, and the Biden administration has continued its appeals for reauthorization. \nIn this virtual discussion\, a panel of leading experts with diverse perspectives examined the current state of play with respect to proposed legislation and the prospects for reauthorization; areas of likely or imaginable compromise; how U.S. national security and individual privacy could be impacted by various proposals; and what might lie ahead for the future of 702. \nThis event is co-hosted by the Reiss Center on Law and Security and Just Security. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nEvent Details\nMonday\, December 4\, 2023\n12:30–1:45 P.M.\nVirtual Event \n  \nThis event has been approved for one New York State CLE credit in the category of Areas of Professional Practice.

SUMMARY:Book Talk - Spies: The Epic Intelligence War Between East and West
DESCRIPTION:[youtube id=”xnaAaP35IaA” width=”600″ height=”350″ autoplay=”no” api_params=”” class=””] \n  \n \n  \nSpies: The Epic Intelligence War Between East and West tells the story of a century-long espionage war between Russia and the West. In Walton’s telling\, the Cold War began earlier than is widely understood and extended beyond the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991\, fueled by an asymmetric conflict of espionage\, subversion\, and sabotage. Walton’s deeply researched account also serves as a prologue to the current geopolitical moment in which\, he argues\, the Cold War never ended and a new\, even more complex clash is unfolding with China. \nOn October 23\, Professor Walton joined Reiss Center Faculty Co-Director Stephen Holmes in conversation about Spies and the deep roots of our current moment. \n  \n \n \n \n  \nEvent Details \nMonday\, October 23\, 2023 \nSnow Dining Room\, Vanderbilt Hall\, 40 Washington Sq.

He is general editor of the three-volume Cambridge History of Espionage and Intelligence. His previous book\, Empire of Secrets\, won the Longman-History Today Book of the Year award. \n \n  \n\n\n\n\n\nStephen Holmes is the Walter E. Meyer Professor of Law at NYU School of Law and a Faculty Co-Director of the Reiss Center on Law and Security.
