This will provide you with a bidder number. This can be done before the auction, or if you have not registered online prior to the auction, you may fill out the above online form at the registration tables in Kushner Lounge (next to the grand staircase in the Vanderbilt Hall entrance). Silent Auction When bidding on an item, please write your name, bidder number, and the amount of your bid in the appropriate increment on the bid sheet associated with the item. You must have a bidder number for your bid to be considered valid. For certain items, if you would like to guarantee that you win an item, you can use the Guaranteed Buy-Out Option. At the bottom of certain bid sheets is a line labeled “guaranteed buy-out.” The guaranteed buy-out price may be more than the value of the item, but if you choose to use this option, you are guaranteed to win that special item you’ve got your eye on. (This also means that if the guaranteed buy-out line is already filled out, the bidding on that item is closed.) And remember, every penny that you spend goes to support NYU students doing important work through their public interest summer internships! When the announcement is made that the silent auction has closed (at 8pm), the highest bid at that time will be the winning bid. Winners will be notified by e-mail. Raffle At any time during the silent auction you can a buy raffle ticket for $1 ($10 for 12), which you can apply to any of the items on the Raffle list in this Program (look for the raffle boxes during the silent auction). Raffle results will be announced during the live auction – you must be present at the live auction to win! Live Auction If you wish to place a bid, please raise your card so that the auctioneer can read your bidder number. Please keep your card up until the auctioneer recognizes you. If you are the highest bidder for an item, an auction representative will approach you to confirm your bid. If you win the item, the credit card you used at the time of registration will be charged the amount you bid. Redemption of Won Items All winners will be notified via email as to pick-up instructions in the days following the auction.

  • Courts Under Pressure: Protecting Rule of Law in the Age of Trump
    COURTS UNDER PRESSURE: PROTECTING RULE OF LAW IN THE AGE OF TRUMP NOVEMBER 10, 2017 ABOUT THE BRENNAN CENTER FOR JUSTICE The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that seeks to improve our systems of democracy and justice. We work to hold our political institutions and laws accountable to the twin American ideals of democracy and equal justice for all. Among our core priorities, we fight to protect voting rights, end mass incarceration, strengthen checks and balances, maintain the independence and impartiality of the judiciary, and preserve Constitutional protection in the fight against terrorism. Part think tank, part public interest law center, part cutting-edge communications hub, we start with rigorous research. We craft innovative policies. And we fight for them — in Congress and the states, the courts, and in the court of public opinion. Since its founding two decades ago, the Brennan Center for Justice has emerged as a national leader in the movement for democracy reform. The Fair Courts project at the Brennan Center pursues research, policy advocacy, and litigation to promote and preserve norms of judicial independence and equal justice for all, safeguard courts against political pressure and special interest influence, and promote a diverse bench. ABOUT THIS CONVENING With our democracy under strain, the courts are on the front lines, constraining the executive and other government actors in cases that regularly put our judicial system in the public eye. Courts have also been put on defense. The President has suggested the courts should be blamed for terrorist attacks, targeted judges for their decisions, and pardoned a government official who refused to follow court orders.

  • President Biden to Sign Executive Order...Of the United States The
    BRIEFING ROOM President Biden to Sign Executive Order Creating the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States APRIL 09, 2021 • STATEMENTS AND RELEASES President Biden will today issue an executive order forming the Presidential Commission on the Supreme Court of the United States, comprised of a bipartisan group of experts on the Court and the Court reform debate. In addition to legal and other scholars, the Commissioners includes former federal judges and practitioners who have appeared before the Court, as well as advocates for the reform of democratic institutions and of the administration of justice. The expertise represented on the Commission includes constitutional law, history and political science. The Commission's purpose is to provide an analysis of the principal arguments in the contemporary public debate for and against Supreme Court reform, including an appraisal of the merits and legality of particular reform proposals. The topics it will examine include the genesis of the reform debate; the Court's role in the Constitutional system; the length of service and turnover of justices on the Court; the membership and size of the Court; and the Court's case selection, rules, and practices. To ensure that the Commission's report is comprehensive and informed by a diverse spectrum of views, it will hold public meetings to hear the views of other experts, and groups and interested individuals with varied perspectives on the issues it will be examining. The Executive Order directs that the Commission complete its report within 180 days of its first public meeting. This action is part of the Administration's commitment to closely study measures to improve the federal judiciary, including those that would expand access the court system.

ARE SINGLE-SEX SCHOOLS INHERENTLY UNEQUAL? Michael Heise* SAME, DIFFERENT, EQUAL: RETHINKING SINGLE-SEX SCHOOLING. By Rosemary C. Salomone. New Haven: Yale University Press. 2003. Pp. xv, 287. $29.95. INTRODUCTION In chess, a "fork" occurs when a player, in a single move, attacks two or more of an opponent's pieces simultaneously, forcing a necessary choice between unappealing outcomes. Similar to the potentially devastating chess move, single-sex public schooling forks many constitutionalists and feminists. Constitutionalists are forced to reexamine the "separate-but-equal" doctrine's efficacy, this time through the prism of gender. Although the doctrine - forged in the crucible of race and overcome in the monumental triumph we know as Brown v. Board of Education1 - rested dormant for generations, persistent (and increasing) single-sex education options are forciag scholars to rethink long-held assumptions about how to breathe new life into the equal educational opportunity doctrine.

  • This Book Examines the Theory, Law, and Reality of Preemption Choice
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-88805-9 - Preemption Choice: The Theory, Law, and Reality of Federalism’s Core Question Edited by William W. Buzbee Frontmatter More information PREEMPTION CHOICE This book examines the theory, law, and reality of preemption choice. The Con- stitution’s federalist structures protect states’ sovereignty but also create a powerful federal government that can preempt and thereby displace the authority of state and local governments and courts to respond to a social challenge. Despite this preemptive power, Congress and agencies have seldom preempted state power. Instead, they typically have embraced concurrent, overlapping power. Recent legislative, agency, and court actions, however, reveal a newly aggressive use of federal preemption, sometimes even preempting more protective state law. Preemption choice fundamentally involves issues of institutional choice and regulatory design: should federal actors displace or work in conjunction with other legal institutions? This book moves logically through each preemption choice step, ranging from underlying theory to constitutional history, to preemption doctrine, to assessment of when preemptive regimes make sense and when state regulation and common law should retain latitude for dynamism and innovation. William W. Buzbee is a Professor of Law at Emory University School of Law and Director of the Emory Environmental and Natural Resources Law Program. He is a co-author of Environmental Protection: Law and Policy, fifth edition (2007). He has published widely on issues of regulatory federalism, environmental law, and administrative law, and three of his articles have appeared in collections of the ten best articles published in their year regarding environmental or land-use law.
