This past June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a president is immune from criminal prosecution for official acts conducted while in office. Former President Donald Trump is facing several charges for his actions in connection to the January 6 attack at the capitol. Emily Spottswood, Professor from Penn State Dickinson School of Law says the news came as a partial surprise. “I wasn't shocked that the court recognized some degree of immunity. You know, there's a lot of parallels for that in other contexts, right? Like prosecutors can't be prosecuted if they even if they flagrantly and egregiously bring charges against a wrong person is absolute prosecutorial immunity. Judges can't be prosecuted for putting the wrong person in prison or even finding them guilty, and they get executed. Right. So, there's a variety of those sorts of immunities that are built into the structure of government. And so, saying some amount of presidential conduct might be similar. There are arguments back and forth. And I'm not a, you know, executive power scholar. So, I'm maybe not the most authoritative person on this subject, but I thought it wasn't incredibly unlikely that the court would say there was some kind of immunity. What was surprising to me was the scope of what they suggested. The extent to which, you know, the sort of this very broad sphere in which he couldn't be prosecuted, and the lack of any guidance given to lower courts about what among the acts in this indictment probably would fall outside of that. Probably would. So, they had a very broad notion of what is his office and what are his official acts. And without giving a lot of guidance that could help streamline things”. With this ruling, Spottswood believes this will change how constitutional law is taught to law students moving forward. “If you're teaching a constitutional law class, you know, a big part of those classes traditionally are these things about how the Constitution structures government, how these various checks and balances and how the separation of powers works on our system. And there's aspects of this decision that cut counter to, you know, previous decisions that definitely are evolving the law in new directions and others that might influence the future course of what powers Congress has to regulate the president. And you know, how the president and the executive branch conducts their work. You know, so I think it's not just as a narrow precedent about, specifically prosecuting presidents, which, you know, we can hope isn't something that will come up as often going forward. But this is also a decision about how the branches relate to each other. And I don't teach constitutional law, but I'm quite sure that my colleagues who do, will think this is an important case to discuss and teach in class.” Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Professor Tonya Evans of Penn State Dickinson Law School visits Technically Legal to talk about her book Digital Money Demystified. Professor Evans has pretty much held every job in legal from judicial clerk, to Big Law lawyer and now legal educator. She is also the host of the Tech Intersect Podcast which focuses on Web3 and how it will impact the future of work, wealth and creativity. In this episode, Professor Evans talks about her journey from risk averse crypto doubter to blockchain believer. She emphasizes the importance of lawyers staying ahead of the curve in the rapidly evolving world of technology and the need for more education and awareness around crypto and blockchain, not only in law schools but also in other professional fields.To those ends, she founded Advantage Evans Academy, a platform designed for non-technologists to understand the new digital economy. Professor Evans' book, Digital Money Demystified, is an excellent starting point for anyone wanting to learn more about cryptocurrencies. The book explains blockchain concepts in plain language and debunks many myths about crypto. Such as: Myth: Crypto is Mainly for Criminals. Fact: Blockchain data analysis firm Chainanalysis estimates that only .24 of all crypto transactions in 2022 were for illicit purposes. Myth: Crypto is untraceable. Fact: Blockchain transactions are pseudonymous, but, if recorded on an open blockchain, such as bitcoin, they are transparent and available to anyone to view.. Myth: Crypto is terrible for the environment. Fact: Not all blockchains are energy guzzlers, especially those based on proof of stake validation and it should not be overlooked that the energy consumed by traditional financial markets is much greater. Professor Evans also explains the need for clear crypto regulation and the risk of the United States falling behind if the regulatory environment is not clarified. Learn more about Professor Evans

Samantha Prince, assistant professor of law at Penn State Dickinson Law, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss her article Megacompany Employee Churn Meets 401(k) Vesting Schedules: A Sabotage on Workers' Retirement Wealth. In this article Prince problematizes the use of vesting schedules in employer-sponsored 401(k) plans, especially at companies with employee-churn rates that make it likely that few employees ever actually receive promised 401(k) matching contributions. Given the disproportionate number of people of color working in such high-churn positions, Prince observes that the 401(k)-vesting problem has downstream effects on racial wealth inequality. This episode is hosted by Andrew Jennings, assistant professor at Brooklyn Law School, with editing by Steven Rozenfeld, a third-year student at Brooklyn Law School.
Every year the amount of sheer talent, knowledge and experience that comes through the little town of Carlisle, PA is astounding. There is the student body at the Army War College and the nation's leaders that present as part of the curriculum, the number of academic powerhouses associated with Dickinson College and Penn State Dickinson Law, and the speaker program at the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center. Added to that list is the J. Sherwood McGinnis, Jr. War, Peace and Justice Project (WPJP) which began its Fall/Winter presentation schedule in October this year. A BETTER PEACE was fortunate enough to sit down with two of the program's main presenters, General Sir Rupert Smith and LTG (Ret.) Jim Dubik, Ph.D., to discuss the project's main theme: "Why has it been so difficult to achieve peace and justice as a result of our conflicts?" The two soldier-authors shared their thoughts and experiences with podcast editor Ron Granieri in a captivating conversation. Be sure to check out the project's website at https://www.warpeacejustice.org/ for future events. And visit the Cumberland County Historical Society where the project was hosted the next time you're in Carlisle.

Welcome back to America's leading higher education law podcast, EdUp Legal - part of the EdUp Experience Podcast Network! In today's episode, we welcome Dean Danielle M. Conway, someone I admire and who has inspired me since before I was Dean. Dean Conway is the Dean and Donald J. Farage Professor of Law at Penn State Dickinson Law. Dean Conway shares her extraordinary efforts in starting the Law Dean's Anti-Racist Clearinghouse Project, which launched in 2020, along with her colleagues, Dean Angela Onwuachi-Willig, Dean Kimberly Mutcherson, Dean Carla Pratt, and Dean Danielle Holley-Walker. Dean Conway tells us that this project was born out of the pain and frustration felt after the murder of George Floyd and other black and brown people, and the lack of protection under the law for them. She tells us how the strong bond between the five resonated throughout the entire legal academy, which gives all of us great hope that it will help transform the system of laws and society. You will learn how Dean Conway is changing the world with the Anti-Racist Development Institute (ADI). This complementary organization will educate subscribers on identifying and implementing anti-racist and anti-racism policies, practices. There are more than 31 law schools involved and 80 contributors from over 200 law schools who will write chapters for the book series, which is the platform for the ADI. Dean Conway shares with us the initiatives she has taken at her law school and the difference they have made, including an increase in the number of faculty of color from 12% to 30% since 2019. Dean Conway also shares how the support of her husband and the leadership team at Penn State University help her manage to be Dean of a law school, lead the way in anti-racism efforts, and keep up with the Clearinghouse Project, all while being a mom to a ten-year-old. Dean Conway concludes with her predictions for the future of legal education, which she believes will transform how equality and the rule of law are taught. Thank you so much for tuning in.

I'm going to let you in on a Decoder secret: at the end of last year, I tasked our producers with finding better ways for us to cover crypto and Web 3.0 on Decoder. I don't think it's any secret that I'm fairly skeptical of crypto, but I want to come by that skepticism honestly—and on the flip side, I want to make sure to see its opportunities and benefits clearly. We've already done episodes on Bitcoin and DAOs, decentralized autonomous organizations, and we're going to do more episodes as the year goes on. Today I'm talking to Tonya Evans, a law professor at Penn State Dickinson Law. She teaches IP law, copyright, and blockchain. She also hosts the Tech Intersect podcast, where she covers how law and technology intersect. She has spent a lot of time thinking about crypto assets and how they interact with the law. Tonya's point of view is that we shouldn't just abandon many of the legal frameworks we have today—she just wants them to adapt to this new internet.

On September 16, 2021 at 6:30PM EST, the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center in Carlisle, Pennsylvania welcomed Prof. Amy Gaudion, of Penn State Dickinson Law, as she presented her lecture, Shifting the Oversight Lens on Cyberspace Operations. In this lecture, Prof. Gaudion examines the recent expansion of the U.S. government's cyber authorities, to engage in both offensive and defensive measures, and explains how that expansion has coincided with a weakening and dispersion of congressional oversight mechanisms. Professor Gaudion proposes alternative mechanisms for plugging the gaps in the oversight structure and for ensuring appropriate limits on the use of cyber capabilities, considering their potential for unintended escalation, catastrophic effects, harm to third-parties, damage to diplomatic relationships, and the development of reciprocal state actions at odds with the goal of creating international norms in cyberspace.To learn more about the USAHEC, find education support for teachers, researchers, and soldiers, or to find more programs at the USAHEC, please visit our website at www.usahec.org.
