  • What's Next for the United States?
    February 2021 Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Office USA, Washington, D.C. What's next for the United States? Part 2: Climate Change and Energy Supply By Sabine Murphy How is the Biden administration changing the direction of the U.S.? The KAS Office USA takes a first look, in a series of five country reports. This report deals with climate and energy challenges. The White House website promises “swift action to tackle the climate emergency” and a “clean energy revolution”. Key Policy Goals The Biden-Harris administration doesn’t make it a secret that the fight against climate change is on top of the to-do-list. Climate is prominently listed on the White House website as one of seven top policy priorities. It states: “President Biden will take swift action to tackle the climate emergency. The Biden administration will ensure we meet the demands of science, while empowering American workers and businesses to lead a clean energy revolution.”1 The Biden administration takes a decidedly different approach to energy use and the impact of rising temperatures on the environment than its predecessor. After four years of the Trump administration denying scientific findings about climate change, Biden has pledged to follow science and involve the entire federal government in the fight against climate change. By creating inter-agency working groups and a National Climate Task Force, Biden wants to ensure that his policies for the production of clean energy and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, are not limited to single agencies but will be implemented throughout the federal government. During his campaign, Biden promised to reach a goal of net-zero emissions across the economy before 2050, and to eliminate pollution caused by fossil fuel in electricity production by 2035.

Kaczorowski, Fordham University Law School: A History John M. Breen Lee J. Strang Follow this and additional works at: https://lawecommons.luc.edu/facpubs Part of the Legal Education Commons BOOK REVIEW THE THINNESS OF CATHOLIC LEGAL EDUCATION, A REVIEW OF ROBERT J. KACZOROWSKI, FORDHAM UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL: A HISTORY JOHN M. BREEN* & LEE J. STRANG* I. INTRODUCTION In his book, Fordham University Law School: A History,' Robert J. Kaczorowski has authored an informative history of Fordham Law School. This highly readable and well-researched volume describes the ups and downs, the triumphs and failures, and the key people and events at Fordham Law School, where the author has served as a faculty member since 1986. The overall story that Kaczorowski tells is one of an urban law school founded in 1905 to serve the professional aspirations of the children of New York's Catholic immigrants-a school that rose from modest beginnings to be among the nation's finest, but then languished in mediocrity for decades due to the syphoning off of revenues by University administrators. This period of unfulfilled potential came to an end in the 1990s, when Fordham Law School returned to elite status through a fairer allocation of resources, the creation of new programs and institutes, the admission of a highly quali- fied, national student body, and the hiring of a more scholarly and produc- tive faculty. Kaczorowski's history is also a welcome addition to the assortment of books that tell the particular histories of individual American law schools,2 in part because Fordham Law School is part of a Jesuit university, and the * Georgia Reithal Professor of Law, Loyola University Chicago School of Law.

  • Law Deans' Release Statement on Remarks of Cully Stimson Regarding Lawyers for Detainees
    January 15, 2007 Statement of Law Deans* We, the undersigned law deans, are appalled by the January 11, 2007 statement of Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Charles “Cully” Stimson, criticizing law firms for their pro bono representation of suspected terrorist detainees and encouraging corporate executives to force these law firms to choose between their pro bono and paying clients. As law deans and professors, we find Secretary Stimson’s statement to be contrary to basic tenets of American law. We teach our students that lawyers have a professional obligation to ensure that even the most despised and unpopular individuals and groups receive zealous and effective legal representation. Our American legal tradition has honored lawyers who, despite their personal beliefs, have zealously represented mass murderers, suspected terrorists, and Nazi marchers. At this moment in time, when our courts have endorsed the right of the Guantanamo detainees to be heard in courts of law, it is critical that qualified lawyers provide effective representation to these individuals. By doing so, these lawyers protect not only the rights of the detainees, but also our shared constitutional principles. In a free and democratic society, government officials should not encourage intimidation of or retaliation against lawyers who are fulfilling their pro bono obligations. We urge the Administration promptly and unequivocally to repudiate Secretary Stimson’s remarks. Sincerely, Gail B. Agrawal Dean and Professor of Law, University of Kansas School of Law T. Alexander Aleinikoff Dean, Georgetown University Law Center Peter C. Alexander Dean and Professor of Law Southern Illinois University School of Law James J. Alfini President and Dean South Texas College of Law Michelle J.
