Law School for Everyone

Jeff Milton, retired attorney, will lead discussion relevant to what is happening in our coursts today and show a brief video presentation from Great Courses. This month’s topic is “Congress and the New Deal Commerce Clause” – Learn how Congress’s power – as we understand it today – was shaped significantly by constitutional transformations that occurred during the 1930s. See how the Court ultimately vindicated robust Congressional powers under the Commerce Clause, and how President Franklin D. Roosevelt packed the courts with judges sympathetic to his transformative New Deal policies.
