Law of the Land: The Supreme Court Year in Review

Law of the Land: The Supreme Court Year in Review

FOLCS and 92NY are excited to present Law of the Land: The Supreme Court’s Year in Review 2024!

The inner workings of the Supreme Court are mysterious and not easily understood, yet have broad social impacts and provoke widespread public debate. This year, we take a look at presidential criminal immunity, presidential ballot eligibility, free speech and social media, abortion, deferences to government agencies, and more. Law of the Land breaks it all down in a comprehensive and entertaining way, taking the audience inside the Court’s major rulings of the year and their bearing on past and future cases.

On Monday, July 8, law professor, legal analyst, and FOLCS Creative Director, Thane Rosenbaum, will host a diverse panel of experts – Constitutional Law Professor at Touro Law Center, Tiffany Graham; senior writer covering courts and the law for Slate Magazine, Mark Joseph Stern; Georgetown Law School Dean, William Treanor; and journalist covering U.S. Supreme Court for The Wall Street Journal, Jess Bravin. Join us for a lively discussion on a contentious year in review.

William Treanor

William M. Treanor is the Dean and Executive Vice President of Georgetown University Law Center, and he holds the Law Center’s Paul Regis Dean Leadership Chair. Treanor joined Georgetown in 2010 and was reappointed to serve a third term as Dean and Executive Vice President beginning July 1, 2020.

Under Treanor’s leadership, Georgetown Law has hired 69 new faculty members; tripled the number of experiential offerings for students in its clinical, externship, and practicum programs; and experienced its most successful era of fundraising, culminating in over $80 million in giving in the last fiscal year.

In 2012, Treanor was recognized by the National Law Journal as a “Champion” because of his work to “uphold the profession’s core values.” In the same year, he received the 2012 David Stoner Uncommon Counselor Award from the David Nee Foundation for his efforts to raise mental health awareness among law students. The National Jurist magazine has named him one of the most influential people in legal education five times. In 2020 he was elected into the American Academy of Arts & Sciences for law and education. Most recently, he was selected for the inaugural Honorable Robert A. Katzmann Award for Academic Excellence by the Burton Awards.

Treanor’s areas of academic expertise include constitutional law, property law, criminal law, intellectual property, and legal history. At Georgetown Law, he has taught a first-year legal justice seminar, an upper-level course on the drafting of the U.S. Constitution, and, most recently, leadership courses. His writings have principally been in the area of constitutional history, and he has been recognized as one of the 10 most-cited legal history scholars in the United States by the University of Chicago Law School’s Brian Leiter. Treanor’s latest article, “The Case of the Dishonest Scrivener: Gouverneur Morris and the Creation of the Federalist Constitution,” a study of the changes that constitutional convention delegate Gouverneur Morris and the Committee of Style made in preparing the Constitution’s final draft, was published in the October 2021 issue of the Michigan Law Review. W.W. Norton will publish his upcoming book, Fathers of the Constitution: Triumph, Tragedy, and the Creation of the American Republic.

Before coming to Georgetown, Treanor was Dean and Paul Fuller Professor of Law at Fordham Law School, where he began teaching in 1991. He also has served in a variety of positions in the government, including Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the Office of Legal Counsel, U.S. Department of Justice; Associate Counsel, Office of Independent Counsel during the Iran/Contra investigation; Special Assistant U.S. Attorney in the District of Columbia United States Attorney's Office; and Special Assistant to the Chair of the New York State Commission on Government Integrity. He was law clerk to the Honorable James L. Oakes, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Treanor has a Ph.D. in history from Harvard University, a J.D. from Yale Law School, and a B.A. from Yale College (summa cum laude).
