Join our upcoming webinar – Navigating Civil Rights, Free Speech, and Preemption in a Shifting Legal Landscape
Join Dean Erwin Chemerinsky, one of the nation’s leading constitutional scholars, for an essential CLE webinar exploring today’s complex intersection of administrative and constitutional law. As California agencies increasingly attempt to fill regulatory gaps left by federal rollbacks, they face growing First Amendment and Supremacy Clause challenges.
This webinar will break down:
- Key civil rights issues, including free speech protections.
- How state administrative actions may spark First Amendment disputes.
- The scope and limits of federal preemption under the Supremacy Clause.
- Emerging legal trends and litigation risks for California agencies navigating federal-state tensions.
Designed for attorneys advising clients on regulatory, administrative, or constitutional matters, this session offers critical insights into the evolving balance of federal and state authority — and what it means for civil rights moving forward. Approved for CLE credit.
