Join us for an engaging and timely discussion on the Dynamics of Power between Federalism and States’ Rights in Arizona’s Legal Landscape. As the expansion of federal executive powers grows and states respond in kind, it’s crucial that we understand how these competing forces can affect our rights and our democracy. This session will equip you with the knowledge to navigate these challenges and advocate for a balanced and fair approach.

We are excited to feature two distinguished experts from Arizona State University:

• Dr. Sean Beienburg, Interim Associate Director of the School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership, ASU, will explore the complex relationship between federal and state powers, particularly how constitutional law impacts the push for increased state authority within this system.

• Dr. Justin Weinstein-Tull, Professor of Law at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law, ASU, will discuss how the tension between federalism and state rights impacts Arizona’s legislative decisions, specifically in relation to voting rights and election laws.

This is an essential opportunity for anyone looking to better understand how federal and state laws intersect, how they affect Arizonans, and why it matters for the future of our democracy. Don’t miss the chance to gain invaluable insights from leading experts on the evolving landscape of federalism and its local impact. We look forward to seeing you there!
