Courts have become increasingly involved in overseeing the immigration policies announced by the President and his agencies. The result has been a dizzying array of on again, off again directives that raise fundamental questions about the obligations of the President as immigration prosecutor, the scope of his discretionary power, and the race to the courthouse in search of a sword or a shield. In this talk, Professor Evans will discuss the implications of headlines grabbing cases involving Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), the Travel Ban, Enforcement Priorities, and Border Policy. The session will examine whether courts have abandoned the doctrine that afforded plenary power to the political branches to regulate immigration policy and what courts' divergent decisions mean for administrative policy-making and the integrity of the courts. Using recent immigration litigation as a backdrop, we will explore the future of immigration policy and how those policies might fare in the courtroom.

Please join us for a presentation by Orkun Akseli, Professor of Commercial Law at the University of Manchester School of Law, on the potential use of digital assets as security in commercial transactions. The development of distributed ledger technology and the potential use of digital assets as collateral when taking security raise several issues in the creation, perfection, and enforcement of security interests as well as in the applicable law. At the same time, modern principles of the UNCITRAL Model Law on Secured Transactions ("MLST") can play a pivotal role in reducing the cost of credit and expanding the financial inclusion of small businesses and individuals. Professor Akseli will argue that financial technology and the MLST have the necessary characteristics to decentralize and streamline the registration of security interests and to enable taking security over digital assets.
