of the Press: An Empirical Study
Miami Law faculty are presenting a series of free, online webinars on many of the critical socio-legal issues raised by the COVID-19 pandemic to broad audiences of faculty members and scholars, law students and Miami Law alumni, the judiciary, other members of the legal community, and the general public. The COVID-19 pandemic raises legal issues on every front and this webinar addressed some of the most important of those issues and gave attendees an opportunity to hear remarks from distinguished faculty experts - from both the Law School and the Department of Political Science at the University of Miami - on a variety of questions this pandemic raises for and about politics. The discussion ranged over constitutional, statutory and policy issues - such as the challenges of holding a general election in the context of a pandemic (including, for voters, how to vote to enhance election security and voter participation, and for candidates, how to campaign and raise funds); the impacts of disasters on presidential election outcomes; Congressional and state legislative responses to COVID-19; the politics of our healthcare financing system, especially Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act in pandemic conditions; and the politics of class and sovereign authority in the U.S. and elsewhere under pandemic conditions. Featured Miami Law and University of Miami Faculty: Moderator/Panelist - Professor Charlton Copeland, Panelists - Professor David Abraham, Professor Frances R. Hill, Professor Gregory Koger, Professor Gabriel Scheffler Watch Recording from April 14th Expert Miami Law faculty, as well as a distinguished judge, provided an overview of various ways in which the virus and responses to it intersect with criminal law and process. Among topics explored: challenges of remote judicial operations; the impact of the pandemic on prison conditions; concerns about prisoner release programs; challenges presented by domestic violence responses; moral panic and the increase in gun sales; the extent of criminalization assisted by global surveillance; the privacy-reducing impact of technological innovations; and the types of financial crimes weaponized by the pandemic. Featured Miami Law Faculty: Moderator - Professor Donna Coker, Panelists - The Honorable Jennifer D. Bailey, Professor Donald M. Jones, Professor Irwin P. Stotzky, Professor Scott E. Sundby, Professor Teresa J. Verges Watch Recording from April 7th The first of a planned trio of webinars, the session offered an overview of some ways in which the virus and responses to it intersect with civil rights, human rights, public health, financial stability, technology, and privacy. It also provided a lens on the operation of courts and the judiciary dealing with vulnerable populations. Special: Miami Law Faculty Present the Law of Covid-19 Webinars
