The thirteen colonies declared independence and immediately hit a wall: how do you build a strong executive without accidentally recreating a king? In honor of Constitution Day, Carolina Law and the Program for Public Discourse are hosting a panel to dig into exactly that.

Suzanne Globetti of the Department of Political Science will moderate a conversation between two constitutional heavyweights: Carolina Law's own Michael Gerhardt, who's testified before Congress more than 20 times and advised the Senate Judiciary Committee through eight Supreme Court confirmations, and University of Virginia’s Saikrishna Prakash, whose work on presidential power and pardons has shaped how we think about executive authority today.

September 17 marks 238 years since the Constitution was signed. Come mark it with us. This event is free and open to the public. 🇺🇸

A week into her fellowship at the Kathrine R. Everett Law Library, Emma Ray '22 is already tracking down every corner of the building, one curiosity at a time. 📚 As the library's first George A. Strait Fellow, a national program from the American Association of Law Libraries (AALL), she's spending her time here building an experience shaped around her own questions, all while pursuing her graduate degree at UNC's School of Data and Information Sciences.

"I've really enjoyed learning about what I realize I don't know," Ray says. Welcome back to Chapel Hill, Emma. 🩵

This summer, 2L Josh Romero spent his externship where reproductive medicine and law actually meet, working with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine’s Policy Center. 🩺⚖️

“It sharpened how I think about policy and gave me a clearer sense of how legal scholarship and clinical medicine inform each other,” Romero says. In a few months, that work continues from a new vantage point: he’ll travel to D.C. with ASRM to meet with members of Congress.

“This externship has helped clarify the kind of physician-attorney and advocate I want to become.”

Excited to see where this path takes you, Josh!

They’re coming from 27 states and D.C., 86 undergraduate schools, and 50 different majors, ages 21 to 43, with over half calling North Carolina home. “Top-flight students recognize that Carolina Law will provide them with the education and opportunities for success,” says Dean Andy Hessick. Welcome to the family, Class of 2029. 🩵
