Marijuana, Federal Power, and the States - Part 1

September 12, 2014 "Marijuana, Federal Power, and the States - Part 1" Case Western Reserve University School of Law In 2013 voters in Colorado and Washington legalized the possession of marijuana under state law. Several other states allow the possession and use of marijuana for medicinal purposes, and others appear ready to follow suit. Yet marijuana remains illegal under federal law. The federal governmental has not sought to preempt these decisions, and has outlined a new enforcement policy that largely defers to state law enforcement. Nonetheless, the conflict between federal and state laws creates legal difficulty for business owners, financial institutions, and local law enforcement. Is this dual regime sustainable? Should the federal government defer to state electorates on marijuana policies? Is drug policy best made at the federal or state level? How should principles of federalism inform the federal government’s response to state initiatives on marijuana? Prominent academics will consider these and related questions raised by state-level marijuana policy reforms.

The Hobby Lobby Decision: Its Effect on Reproductive Rights and Judicial Precedent

September 10, 2014 "The Hobby Lobby Decision: Its Effect on Reproductive Rights and Judicial Precedent" Case Western Reserve University School of Law The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby found that the regulations promulgated by the Department of Health and Human Services requiring employers to provide their female employees with no-cost access to contraception contravene the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in some circumstances. The Court’s decision was largely split along gender lines. It exempts closely held for-profit corporations from the Affordable Care Act’s birth control coverage mandate if facilitating access to contraception would violate their sincerely held religious beliefs. This panel discussion will analyze the Hobby Lobby decision and the questions it has raised regarding the balance between a woman’s reproductive freedom and a corporation’s right to religious freedom. This lecture will be of interest to any Ohio attorney who represents corporations and small businesses that provide health insurance for employees or represents employees enrolled in health care plans.
