The Yale Law Journal will host a symposium on executive power on March 24-25. The symposium will focus on the nature of executive power at the federal, state, and local levels. From the response to Hurricane Katrina to the controversies over NSA wiretapping, theories of executive power have moved over the past year from the academy to the headlines. We are proud to kick off the symposium on The Pocket Part with contributions from five authors who were asked to reflect on “2005: The Year of the Executive.”
