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

SUMMARY:Toward a Goldilocks Deal on 702 Surveillance Reform
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:A Former President Indicted: The Special Counsel and the Road Ahead
DESCRIPTION:[youtube id=”bR_DJrM_Qls” width=”600″ height=”350″ autoplay=”no” api_params=”” class=””] \n  \n \nFormer President Donald Trump has been indicted by a grand jury in Miami. Since the country learned last August of an FBI search of the former president’s residence at Mar-a-Lago for documents marked as classified\, details have steadily emerged about the volume of documents there\, who had access to them\, and alleged efforts to conceal them. Now the investigation has culminated in an unprecedented step: the first federal indictment of a former president. The special counsel’s prosecution moves forward against a backdrop of other criminal and civil proceedings against the former president\, including around his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election\, even as he is a presidential candidate for the 2024 election. \nThis was an NYU Forum discussion—led by Reiss Center on Law and Security Faculty Co-Director Ryan Goodman—of the legal\, policy\, and national security issues at play in this critical moment. \nThis event has been approved for one 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.

Ukrainian forces have proven remarkably strong\, and the Ukrainian people have demonstrated utter determination against a Russian leadership and military that have drastically underperformed. Meanwhile\, the United States has honed its own response to Russia’s illegal invasion\, which includes assembling an alliance to support Ukraine\, billions in humanitarian aid and weapons\, massive sanctions against Russian entities\, and new laws to prosecute those who commit grave crimes in Ukraine through U.S. courts. \n\n\n\nOn the occasion of this somber anniversary\, the Reiss Center teamed up with The Just Security Podcast to reunite a group of experts to discuss how the United States has responded to the conflict and what comes next. These legal and diplomatic all-stars first came together in the panel discussion we convened on the day Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022.

SUMMARY:Investigating Mar-a-Lago
DESCRIPTION:[youtube id=”w8afCO7TbQo” width=”600″ height=”350″ autoplay=”no” api_params=”” class=””] \n  \n \nThe U.S. Department of Justice’s unprecedented investigation continues into the documents found at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida\, raising many intertwined domestic law and national security concerns. \nWhat is the likely trajectory of the criminal investigation? How might the Mar-a-Lago proceedings be sequenced with the separate and ongoing investigations and prosecutions around the events of January 6? How do the interests of the intelligence community figure into whether and how to bring criminal charges in such cases? How should we assess the performance of the Justice Department and intelligence community to date? What is essential to understand—and what are common misconceptions about—the Espionage Act\, the rules governing (de)classification\, executive privilege\, and the Presidential Records Act? \nAt this Forum\, experts with backgrounds in law\, journalism\, intelligence\, and senior government service will explore the state of play in the case and analyze the bigger picture. This event is co-hosted by the Reiss Center on Law and Security and the NYU Law Forum. \nThis event has been approved for one New York State CLE credit in the category of Areas of Professional Practice.

SUMMARY:The Origins of the Sicilian Mafia: What We Know and What We Still Cannot Explain
DESCRIPTION:The origin of the Sicilian mafia has been attributed to the demand of property rights enforcement in the markets of land\, sulfur\, citrus fruits and labor conflicts in 19th century Sicily. But what about the “supply”? How has the mafia developed and maintained its power of intimidation for 180 years? On September 19\, Diego Gambetta\, author of “The Sicilian Mafia: The Business of Private Protection” and “Codes of the Underworld: How Criminals Communicate\,” will reflect on the as yet unsolved mysteries of this organization. \n\n\nPlease join us for this breakfast talk with Professor Gambetta\, who is visiting NYU Law in the Fall of 2022 as a Hauser Distinguished Global Fellow and is the Carlo Alberto Chair in Social and Political Science\, Collegio Carlo Alberto.
