Constitutional Chats hosted by Janine Turner and Cathy Gillespie
As we discussed last week, the Sixth Amendment guarantees a trial by jury in a criminal trial, among other guarantees. The Seventh Amendment guarantees a trial by jury in federal civil cases for disputes over $20. Why were the Founders so adamant about jury trials as opposed to a single judge? What is the difference between a civil or common law trial and a criminal trial? What are the exceptions to a trial by jury? And how does this apply and function in conjunction with state law? Alongside our student panel, we are delighted to welcome Eric J. Wise, partner at Alston & Bird, to help us understand the historical context, need and purpose of the Seventh Amendment.

Most of us see payments innovation as the force that moves markets. That's true when it comes to user experience and the tech that moves money. But it is government regulation and business contract rules that guide and control what financial services players can, and can't, do with their shiny new tools. Or crusty old ones. Regulation in the US is a complex, multi-layered reality for incumbents and fintechs alike. In this Payments on Fire® episode, Jennifer Aguilar, Sr. Associate at law firm Alston & Bird, provides a crisp review of payment system rules, federal and state regulations, Regs E and Z, and more. https://pof.glenbrook.com/

The FDIC board of directors has been convulsed by the widely publicized dispute over who controls the agenda for FDIC board meetings -- the Board chair or a majority of its members. Currently, the FDIC Board has four members -- Chairperson Jelena McWilliams, Director (and former Chairman) Martin Gruenberg, and serving as ex-officio members, Michael Hsu (Acting Comptroller of the Currency) and Rohit Chopra, Director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; there is one vacancy, that of Vice Chairman. Director Gruenberg and the two ex-officio directors, both Biden appointees, moved to take control of the board agenda, specifically with regard to bank merger policies, which led McWilliams, a Trump appointee, to resign as chairman, effective February 4. Gruenberg may likely become the acting chairman of what will be, for the time being, a three-member board.The dispute between McWilliams and the other three directors has raised several issues not just for the FDIC but for other agencies governed by boards, such as the Federal Reserve, the SEC, the NCUA, the CFTC. The FDIC is unique, though, with two directors serving at the pleasure of the President, and who head their own agencies without colleagues who have a vote on their actions.The webinar panelists will discuss the implications of the turmoil at the FDIC and what it may mean for not just the FDIC but also for the boards of other independent regulatory agencies. Featuring: --Thomas Vartanian, Executive Director, The Financial Tech and Cybersecurity Center -- Michael Krimminger, Senior Counsel, Cleary Gotlieb-- Bert Ely, Principal, Ely & Company, Inc. --Moderator: Brian Johnson, Partner, Alston & Bird

On June 23rd, 2021 the Supreme Court decided Collins v. Yellen, a case which concerned the constitutionality of the structure of the Federal Housing Finance Agency.

The Federal Vacancies Reform Act (FVRA) is a federal statute permitting the President to appoint acting officials to fill vacancies that arise within federal departments and agencies when certain conditions are met. Last amended in 1998, the law represents a compromise of sorts between the Legislative and Executive branches, which share power regarding the appointment and confirmation of many federal officers. The FVRA’s use in recent years to fill vacancies within the Departments of Justice and Veterans Affairs and agencies such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, among others, has been controversial. What are the limits of the FVRA? Is the FVRA constitutional as applied to the appointment of acting principal officers? Does it apply when an organic agency statute also provides for a more specific succession plan? Does it apply to vacancies created by firing rather than temporary absence, death or resignation? Who has standing to challenge an FVRA appointment or the actions of an FVRA appointee? How should the incoming Administration think about the use of FVRA?Featuring: -- Thomas Berry, Research Fellow, Robert A.

Sweet Professor of Law, Stanford Law School-- Moderator: Brian Johnson, Partner, Alston & Bird
In Seila Law LLC v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the Supreme Court decided the constitutionality of the CFPB, an agency long criticized not just by the business community but also constitutional scholars who see major problems a single-director agency seemingly unaccountable to the president or anyone else. The lawsuit was brought by a law firm that assists in resolving personal-debt issues, among other legal work that puts it in the crosshairs of those who want greater regulation of consumer-facing financial services. The CFPB is the most independent of independent agencies, with power to make rules, enforce them, adjudicate violations in its own administrative hearings, and punish wrongdoers. It doesn’t need Congress to approve its budget, because its funding requests are met by another agency insulated from political control: the Federal Reserve. Even CFPB supporters concede that the CFPB structure and authority is unique. John Eastman and Brian Johnson join us to discuss the Supreme Court's decision and the greater implications. Featuring: -- John Eastman, Henry Salvatori Professor of Law and Community Service and Director, Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence, Chapman University Fowler School of Law-- Brian Johnson, Partner, Alston & Bird

There have been plenty of developments in the federal government since the beginning of 2017, but how has the new administration affected antitrust reviews of mergers and acquisitions? In this report from the ABA Section of Antitrust Law Spring Meeting 2018, host Lindsey Champlin interviews Paula Render, partner at Jones Day, and John Snyder, partner at Alston & Bird, about the developments and trends in merger and acquisition antitrust law.
