NYU School of Law

This session will examine trends in state courts’ use of their state constitutions to expand protections of criminal defendants’ rights beyond those recognized by the U.S. Supreme Court and often to reject Supreme Court rulings that cut back on previously established protections. Using Justice Brennan’s classic law review articles on the subject, the session will consider the principles that state courts have developed to guide their interpretation of state constitutional provisions.

This virtual event is approved for one New York State CLE credit in the category of Areas of Professional Practice. The credit is both transitional and non-transitional; it is appropriate for both experienced and newly admitted attorneys.

Saturday morning and afternoon feature virtual academic classes taught by NYU Law’s world-renowned faculty and offer CLE credit. All CLE credit offerings are presented in partnership with the Law Alumni Association.
