“As we all follow the impeachment inquiry in the House of Representatives, it is important that we understand this rarely used, but critically important feature of our constitutional structure,” said Dean Matthew Diller of Fordham Law School. “There is no one better able to shed light on this issue than Cass Sunstein, one of the leading scholars of his generation who also has deep experience working in the White House. Fordham Law is grateful to NYSBA for partnering with us in presenting this program.”
