    • Moving Away from ABA Accreditation?

      Moving Away from ABA Accreditation?
      Feb 17 2026
      The Council of the ABA's Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar has long been the only federally recognized accreditor for law schools. In that role, it is able to direct what law schools teach and determine what constitutes sufficient coursework for law students. Over the past several years, the ABA has faced several challenges to proposed directives for law schools, including a recent proposal to increase the requirement of clinical hours (which has since been withdrawn) and various policies that have been labeled DEI initiatives. Some have lauded those efforts, while others have expressed concern that they mistake the purpose of law schools. In light of skepticism about the ABA, some state bars, particularly Florida and Texas, have opted to no longer require students to have attended an ABA-accredited law school in order to sit for their bar exams. In light of these and other efforts, voices from across the political spectrum have debated not just the value of the particular ABA policy directives, but the appropriate role of the ABA as an accreditor. Our panel will dive into those arguments around the ABA.

      Featuring:

      Prof. Derek T. Muller, Professor of Law, Notre Dame Law School
      Prof. Daniel B. Rodriguez, Harold Washington Professor of Law, Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law

    • Labor Law Reform on Capitol Hill: Opening Offer or Impasse?

      Labor Law Reform on Capitol Hill: Opening Offer or Impasse?
      Feb 17 2026
      Last session saw no shortage of proposals in Congress for labor-law reform. In the Senate, lawmakers introduced proposals ranging from mandatory interest arbitration to bans on organizing undocumented workers. In the House, representatives proposed a range of union-democracy reforms, including a requirement for unions to poll their members before endorsing a candidate for president. And in between, scholars and practitioners offered their own ideas, including a proposal to transform the National Labor Relations Board into an article I court.
      The ideas are abundant, but are any of them viable? Which ones can thread the needle in Congress? And more importantly, how would they change the way employees, employers, and unions conduct their business? Join us as our expert panel breaks them down.
      Featuring:

      Thomas Beck, Senior Adviser, Workplace Policy Institute, Littler Mendelson P.C.
      G. Roger King, Senior Labor and Employment Counsel, CHRO Association
      F. Vincent Vernuccio, President, Institute for the American Worker

    • No One Can Own the Law? The Third Circuit's Review of Whether Publishing ASTM Standards is Fair Use

      No One Can Own the Law? The Third Circuit's Review of Whether Publishing ASTM Standards is Fair Use
      Feb 17 2026
      Join us for a webinar examining the Third Circuit’s ongoing review of a decision holding that publishing ASTM standards—which are funded by licenses to use the standards—is a noninfringing fair use under US copyright law. This session will present arguments from both sides, analyzing the tension between a private entity’s right to protect its investments in developing copyrighted technical standards, and the public’s right to access the laws which incorporate those standards. With the Third Circuit poised to issue a decision in ASTM v. UpCodes soon, this webinar aims to provide informative insight on the regulatory and intellectual property policies that will soon be implicated.
      Featuring:

      Prof. Emily Bremer, Professor of Law, University of Notre Dame Law School
      Prof. Zvi Rosen, Associate Professor, UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law
      (Moderator) Hon. Stephen Vaden, Deputy Secretary of Agriculture, U.S. Department of Agriculture
