Tarrifs may be Trump’s favorite word, but it remains to be seen if he has the authority he claims to employ them. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in November, and ahead of this, Professor Amar takes you inside the argument. He offers the history and takes us through an originalist approach, a textual approach, a structural approach, a precedential approach, and presents the case as an advocate might. Listen to a possible amicus brief in the making; a potential opening argument in outline and in any case, arm yourself with an understanding of the issues in this conceivably momentous case. CLE credit is available for lawyers and judges from podcast.njsba.com.
