Description
Join author Peter Cohen for a moderated talk with Montpelier staff followed by a Q+A about his new book, In the Supreme Court's Own Words: First Principles for Checking Presidential Power and Preserving the Republic. Drawing on more than 220 years of landmark U.S. Supreme Court decisions Cohen explores how the Court has served as a critical check on presidential power and a guardian of the rule of law. Grounded in four decades of legal practice and teaching constitutional law, this talk makes foundational Court decisions accessible to both legal audiences and the general public. A limited number of books will be available for purchase. Learn more about Peter Cohen and his book: https://www.coninsightpress.com/
