    This one-hour CLE panel will look into the origins and the development of the unitary executive theory, including its rising relevance in the current administration’s approach to executive authority. The panel is comprised of three respected legal scholars whose publications on the topic range from critiques of the founding-era history that many textualists rely upon, the scope of presidential approval power, accountability of the executive branch, and numerous administrative law considerations. Despite the many criticisms of unitary executive theory, the Supreme Court under Chief Justice Roberts shows some interest in its application.

    Panelists:
    Professor Christine Chabot, Marquette University Law School
    Professor Heidi Kitrosser, Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law
