Podcasts about acting solicitor general

To mark the paperback release of the New York Times bestseller, Reading the Constitution: Why I Chose Pragmatism, Not Textualism, former Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court Stephen Breyer offers a provocative analysis of the textualist philosophy of the current Supreme Court's supermajority and makes the case for a more pragmatic approach of the Constitution. In conversation with Neal Katyal, former Acting Solicitor General of the U.S. who has argued 52 cases before the Supreme Court. This program was held on May 13, 2025 in partnership with Politics and Prose. 

An Interview with Paul Clement, Appellate Lawyer and Distinguished Lecturer in Law The US Constitution has long been revered by its citizens, yet also robustly challenged. Knowing that it would be tested, the founders created the judiciary to serve as an independent bulwark that would protect Americans' rights.  Yet the judiciary's independence has often been called into question lately, in part due to the country's ideological divide. Further, until recently, some of its authority had been ceded to the executive branch, creating an explosion of government regulation and intrusion into citizens' daily lives.  Few understand the state of the judiciary and the US Constitution better than Paul Clement, our guest on this episode of Voices of Freedom. Clement has argued more cases before the Supreme Court than anyone in recent history, giving him distinct insights into future of the Court and the most impactful rulings of our time.  Topics Discussed on this Episode: ·         How Clement's midwestern roots have influenced his approach with the Court ·         The significance of the rule of law in America and how it's distinctive from other countries ·         The danger in straying from the US Constitution's intent ·         State of the US Supreme Court ·         Court packing  - its impact on the rule of law and the Court's make up ·         How the reversal of Chevron will impact government regulation ·         What universities should do to protect free speech and counter anti-Semitism ·         The legal profession distancing itself from controversial cases ·         How Americans can understand and uphold the rule of law Paul Clement served as the 43rd Solicitor General of the United States between 2005 and 2008. Prior to that, he served as Acting Solicitor General and as Principal Deputy Solicitor General. He is a partner at Clement & Murphy and a Bradley Foundation director. Clement is a 2013 Bradley Prize recipient.

As the top courtroom lawyer for the U.S. Government, Neal Katyal has argued over 50 cases before the Supreme Court.

Trevor shares insights about the challenges and excitement of working in the Solicitor General's office, and his thoughts on the Fourth Circuit. Trevor also discuss the challenges of arguing cases in court, including the importance of answering questions directly and the differences between arguing before a three judge panel and an en banc court.

Neal Katyal—Hogan Lovells partner, Georgetown Law professor, and former Acting Solicitor General—would have a very strong claim to the title.Many SCOTUS advocates focus on winning high-court cases for their clients, but Neal aspires to more: he contributes to our national discourse. His scholarship has been published in top law reviews, including the Harvard Law Review and Yale Law Journal. He writes op-eds for leading newspapers, including the New York Times and Washington Post. He authored a Times bestseller, Impeach: The Case Against Donald Trump. He makes frequent appearances on television and radio as a legal-affairs commentator. He comments on the news of the day to his more than 800,000 Twitter followers. And later this year, he's coming to Substack—exciting news that he shared in my recent podcast interview of him.I've known Neal for a long time, and I'd been wanting to have him on the show for a while. Now turned out to be a great time, for two reasons. First, just last week, he made his 50th oral argument before the Supreme Court—a major milestone that few SCOTUS advocates can claim. Second, May is Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, and Neal has argued more Supreme Court cases than any other AAPI lawyer—or, for that matter, any other lawyer of color. Congratulations to Neal on his 50th SCOTUS argument, and thanks to him for taking the time to join me.Show Notes:* Neal Katyal bio, Hogan Lovells US LLP* Neal K.

In the second episode of S&C's Supreme Court Business Review series, hosts Judd Littleton, Julia Malkina and Morgan Ratner are joined by Sharon Cohen Levin, former head of the Money Laundering and Asset Forfeiture Unit in the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, to discuss the Supreme Court's recent decision in Cassirer v. Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection Foundation. The decision addresses the correct choice-of-law rule in a dispute between the family of a German Jewish woman who surrendered a painting to the Nazi regime in 1939 to obtain an exit visa and the Spanish museum that currently displays it.  Sharon brings unique insight to this area of law and explains the legal landscape for heirs seeking restitution of property looted as part of severe violations of international law. She also discusses the implications of the Court's decision for the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act more generally. S&C's Appellate Practice Led by former Acting Solicitor General of the United States Jeffrey Wall—who has argued more than 30 times before the U.S. Supreme Court—and drawing on the experience of 17 former U.S. Supreme Court clerks and more than 80 former federal circuit court clerks, S&C's Supreme Court and Appellate Practice adeptly handles challenging and high-profile appeals around the country. Our Supreme Court and Appellate lawyers collectively have significant experience before the Supreme Court and scores of other federal and state courts of appeals.

In this episode of S&C Critical Insights, Judd Littleton, Julia Malkina and Morgan Ratner introduce the third annual podcast series accompanying S&C's Supreme Court Business Review. The Review summarizes the decisions from each Term that are most relevant to business leaders, and offers practical guidance on the implications of those decisions. Judd, Julia and Morgan preview upcoming episodes and discuss two closely watched administrative law decisions from this Term. The first is National Federation of Independent Business v. OSHA, in which the Court considered whether the Occupational Safety and Health Administration had the authority to implement a national COVID-19 vaccine mandate. The second is West Virginia v. EPA, in which the Court considered whether the Environmental Protection Agency had the authority to issue the Clean Power Plan, which established carbon dioxide emissions limits for coal power plants. They also briefly touch on the Court's decision in American Hospital Association v. Becerra, in which the Court declined to address the continued viability of the Chevron doctrine in a case addressing how the Department of Health and Human Services sets drug reimbursement rates for hospitals treating Medicare patients. S&C's Supreme Court and Appellate Practice Led by former Acting Solicitor General of the United States Jeffrey Wall—who has argued more than 30 times before the U.S. Supreme Court—and drawing on the experience of 17 former U.S. Supreme Court clerks and more than 80 former federal circuit court clerks, S&C's Supreme Court and Appellate Practice adeptly handles challenging and high-profile appeals around the country.

QUESTION PRESENTED:This case presents a clear and intractable conflict regarding an important jurisdictional qNew York prohibits its ordinary law-abiding citizens from carrying a handgun outside the home without a license, and it denies licenses to every citizen who fails to convince the state that he or she has “proper cause” to carry a firearm. In District of Columbia v. Heller, this Court held that the Second Amendment protects “the individual right to possess and carry weapons in case of confrontation,” 554 U.S. 570, 592 (2008), and in McDonald v. City of Chicago, the Court held that this right “is fully applicable to the States,” 561 U.S. 742, 750 (2010). For more than a decade since then, numerous courts of appeals have squarely divided on this critical question: whether the Second Amendment allows the government to deprive ordinary law-abiding citizens of the right to possess and carry a handgun outside the home. This circuit split is open and acknowledged, and it is squarely presented by this petition, in which the Second Circuit affirmed the constitutionality of a New York regime that prohibits law-abiding individuals from carrying a handgun unless they first demonstrate some form of “proper cause” that distinguishes them from the body of “the people” protected by the Second Amendment. The time has come for this Court to resolve this critical constitutional impasse and reaffirm the citizens' fundamental right to carry a handgun for self-defense. The question presented is: Whether the Second Amendment allows the government to prohibit ordinary lawabiding citizens from carrying handguns outside the home for self- defense.DateProceedings and Orders (key to color coding)Dec 17 2020 | Petition for a writ of certiorari filed.

Dan and will try to catch up on the flurry of news from Thursday afternoon, including an update on the Acting Solicitor General and the Court's surprising grant of injunctive relief against New York's eviction procedures. Come for the breaking news, stay to find out how Dan procrastinate and to learn the relevance of Catskills humor to the shadow docket.

After teasing it for months, Neal Katyal, perhaps our nation's finest Supreme Court advocate, joins Amarica's Constitution.  The dramatic rise of a truly great lawyer is a fascinating story, including the case that launched Neal into Supreme Court practice - Hamdan v. Rumsfeld.  Later he would become Acting Solicitor General and then move into John Roberts' old chair as the head of the Supreme Court appellate office at Hogan Lovells, Georgetown Law Professor, nationally-known media personality, author including sometimes co-author with Professor Amar, and even a TV actor. There's too much to tell in one episode, so Neal will return next week for analysis of some of today and tomorrow's most compelling legal issues.

He joins Sophia on "Work In Progress" to share how he became a lawyer and what it's really like to argue in front of the Supreme Court, and discuss his thoughts on the impeachment trial and President Trump. Executive Producers: Sophia Bush & Sim SarnaSupervising Producer: Allison BresnickAssociate Producer: Caitlin LeeEditors: Josh Windisch and Matt SasakiMusic written by Jack Garratt and produced by Mark FosterArtwork by Kimi SelfridgeThis show is brought to you by Cloud10 & Brilliant Anatomy, and powered by Simplecast.This episode is sponsored by Calm, Wantable, and Four Sigmatic.

On Wednesday, January 15, Business Forward Foundation welcomed former Acting Solicitor General of the United States Neal Katyal for a briefing on the facts and legal theories behind the impeachment of President Trump, as well as other threats to rule of law in the U.S.

"Imagine if it had worked." So begins former acting solicitor general Neal Katyal's new book "Impeach: The Case Against Donald Trump." Katyal argues that if President Trump's solicitation of personal political favors from Ukraine had gone undetected until after the 2020 election, our democracy's legitimacy would have been undermined. For that reason, he says that the President's actions constitute an abuse of power that the Constitution's framers specifically deemed impeachable. As the full House of Representatives prepares to vote on two articles of impeachment next week, we'll talk to Katyal about why he thinks legal precedent and the factual record support removing Trump from office.

On Monday 30 September we hosted a panel debate on checks and balances required for maintaining democracy and the rule of law with two distinguished panellists: Neal Katyal – former Acting Solicitor-General of the United States under President Obama Lord (David) Anderson KBE QC – cross-bench life peer, former Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation (UK), and barrister specialising in EU, human rights and public law The event was chaired by Jessica Simor QC, one of the country’s leading specialists in public/regulatory, EU and human rights law. Challenges and opportunities Drawing on experience from the US and the UK, our panellists addressed the following issues: What are the key challenges and opportunities for the rule of law in contemporary democratic societies? Does the UK ultimately need a written Constitution, in order to guarantee an effective system of checks and balances? What are the key challenges facing democratic institutions as they seek to balance executive powers with a constitutional order based on precedent? The panel discussion is followed by questions from our invited live audience of local students, academics and specialists in the field. The event was streamed live on 30 September.

In this episode, we spend time with Paul D. Clement, who served as the 43rd Solicitor General of the United States from June 2005 until June 2008. Before his confirmation as Solicitor General, he served as Acting Solicitor General for nearly a year and as Principal Deputy Solicitor General for over three years. He has argued nearly 100 cases before the United States Supreme Court. The American Law Institute would like to thank Oyez for excerpted portions of Supreme Court oral arguments.

In this bonus podcast episode, listen to Ari Melber's reporting and analysis on the Mueller report, including a special break down of the two paths forward, outlined by Mueller in the Russia probe report and why Mueller may have referred to both the Congressional power of impeachment and the possibility for former Presidents to be indicted. Plus, listen to Ari Melber's interview with former Acting Solicitor General, Neal Katyal, who wrote the DOJ rules governing a Special Counsel and why he believes Trump is worse than Nixon. Then, a break down of how Trump’s Attorney General Bill Barr was busted for misleading the public. 

Renato and Patti discuss the recent filings by federal prosecutors in New York and Special Counsel Robert Mueller, including the conclusion by federal prosecutors that Donald Trump directed Michael Cohen to commit federal crimes. They are joined by Neal Katyal, the former Acting Solicitor General who authored the Special Counsel regulations.

Renato and Patti discuss the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court, including how he would impact the Court's rulings and recent controversies that arose during his confirmation hearing, including allegations that Kavanaugh lied under oath. They are joined by Neal Katyal, the former Acting Solicitor General who has argued many important cases before the Supreme Court.

The courts have proven a key battleground in the fights of the Trump era. On immigration, voting rights, freedom of religion and more, legal advocates are taking on federal policy – and, often, winning. What are these new legal strategies? Will they last? And how can issues of democracy, justice, and the rule of law become burning matters of public – not just legal – debate?   Alexander Heffner, Host, The Open Mind on PBS Becca Heller, Director and Co-Founder, IRAP; Visiting Clinical Lecturer in law, Yale Law School Jameel Jaffer, Executive Director, Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University Neal Katyal, Paul and Patricia Saunders Professor of National Security Law, Georgetown Law; former Acting Solicitor General of the United States Faiza Patel, Co-Director, Liberty & National Security Program, Brennan Center for Justice Elizabeth Wydra, President, Constitutional Accountability Center

It's our first emergency podcast! Right after the full Fourth Circuit heard oral arguments in the Muslim Travel Ban appeal, the Versus Trump co-hosts hopped on the line to do a deep-dive into the argument. The podcast includes audio clips of many key moments from the oral argument audio.We start off by analyzing what happened when Acting Solicitor General Jeff Wall got up to the podium to defend the travel ban [1:20-19:50]. We point out that the court was overwhelmingly populated by Democratic appointees, and they were not afraid to ask hard questions—like how the court could possibly ignore the President's repeated statements that he wanted to implement a Muslim ban. We thought that the Acting Solicitor General did his very best to offer up appealing reasons for upholding the ban, but we all thought that, as Charlie said, the SG made a fantastic argument "about a case that isn't this case." Ultimately, we doubt his arguments will hold up in light of the extraordinary and unusual clarity of the President's anti-Muslim rhetoric.We then break down the argument of plaintiff's counsel, Omar Jadwat of the ACLU, who was arguing that the Muslim travel ban was unconstitutional [19:50-30:30]. We wonder why Jadwat wasn't more forceful in pointing out how extraordinary and unusual this case is, and why he seemed to want to evade questions that could have been answered straightforwardly by pointing directly to the President's own clear, anti-Muslim statements. Still, given the strength of the plaintiffs' case and the left-leaning majority on the court, we predict that the court will agree with the plaintiffs, hold that the Muslim ban was unconstitutionally adopted, and continue to prohibit the federal government from enforcing the controversial executive order. We end with a few final thoughts and a prediction about how the case will come out. [30:30-end.] See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Just a few weeks into the era of President-elect Donald Trump, and already there is a lot of bruising around the edges of the Constitution. The past few weeks have brought talk of Muslim registries, jail time for flag burners, restrictions on voting and the sweet mystery of the Emoluments Clause. This week, we sit down with U.S. Senator Chris Coons to discuss how much of this talk we should take seriously, and where the true threats to Americans’ constitutional protections lie. We also speak with Neal Katyal, former Acting Solicitor General of the United States, about the 1944 Supreme Court decision that upheld the internment of Japanese-Americans. In 2011, Katyal issued an official apology for the role of one of his predecessors in that case. Korematsu v United Stateshas been in the news again recently, after one Trump surrogate cited it as a “precedent” for a possible Trump Administration program that would require the registration of immigrants from a handful of predominantly Muslim countries.
