L. Join the Cato Institute’s Sphere Education Initiatives and iCivics as we bring together a panel of leading legal scholars to discuss this pending case before the Supreme Court, the legal precedent informing the decision, and the potential impact on students and educators.

Our panel will feature Thomas Berry, research fellow of the Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies at the Cato Institute, Vera Eidelman, staff attorney at the ACLU’s Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, and Emily Gold Waldman, professor of law at Pace University’s Elisabeth Haub School of Law.
