Join us on Monday, March 18 as the Institute for Policy Innovation (IPI) hosts law professor, legal scholar and author Richard Epstein who will candidly discuss the disruption in the balance of powers among the three branches of government.
Epstein, the Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law at the NYU School of Law, will examine the growth in the power of the executive and presidency, how Congress has improperly delegated its powers, and judicial overreach – all while illuminating what the Founders had originally designed for the equal branches.
