Register for "President Biden’s Pardon Legacy and the Future of the Federal Clemency Power"

A256d1dd-7ba1-4f9d-a195-35715d6bb2e7The eve of Election Day 2024 seems like a good time to flag an online event on the presidential clemency power being hosted on December 10 by the Drug Enforcement and Policy Center (DEPC) at The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law.   Here is the event page for the event where you will see this overview and list of panelists:

Both Barack Obama and Donald Trump closed out their presidential terms with a significant number of clemency grants, though the processes adopted by these two presidents differed dramatically. President Biden has already taken some notable clemency actions, though what might be in store for his clemency pen in his final months remains uncertain.  Perhaps even more uncertain: what should be expected regarding the future of the federal clemency power in the next presidential administration?

On December 10th, 2024, join us to hear a panel of experts discuss their perspectives on the past, present, and future of the President's Clemency Power.

Panelists
Mark Osler, Robert & Marion Short Distinguished Professor of Law, University of St. Thomas School of Law
Rachel Barkow, Charles Seligson Professor of Law; Faculty Director, Zimroth Center on the Administration of Criminal Law; NYU School of Law
Eric Luna, Amelia D. Lewis Professor of Constitutional and Criminal Law, Foundation Professor; Faculty Director, Academy for Justice; Arizona State University Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law
Larry Kupers, Former Deputy Pardon Attorney (Obama Administration); Former Acting Pardon Attorney (Trump Administration); Former Federal Defender
