  • Frozen Out: Debanking Practice and Policy in the New Administration

    Frozen Out: Debanking Practice and Policy in the New Administration
    Jan 29 2025
    Financial institutions have faced growing scrutiny for debanking customers, with no explanation. While debanking is sometimes legally necessary when banks suspect unlawful conduct, recent reports have prompted high-profile questions about the practice, including from the President himself.

    The lack of transparency does not help. How do financial institutions determine which accounts or services will be closed? Are these decisions driven by regulatory sensitivities, perceived reputational risk, or other considerations? Should legal limits exist on financial institutions' discretion to debank? What are the rights of corporations to choose what customers to serve and what, if any, limits might apply in an industry as heavily-regulated and protected as banks? What can be done to protect citizens' rights to participate in public discourse without fear of financial exclusion?

  • Open Minds with Prof. Richard Epstein and Prof. Todd Zywicki - Part I

    Open Minds with Prof. Richard Epstein and Prof. Todd Zywicki - Part I
    Jan 16 2025
    Prof. Richard Epstein joins Prof. Todd Zywicki to discuss his academic journey, where he learned early on, particularly through the lens of Roman law, that legal issues cannot be understood by mere definitions, but by understanding deeper substantive theory. Prof. Epstein emphasizes valuable lessons he learned along the way, such as the importance of figuring out where one’s particular strengths lie and how to “do” law by oneself. How does one transition from a dutiful student to a sui generis thinker? Join us for an engaging discussion on Prof. Epstein’s evolution of academic thought and the adaptation of Roman law and early English common law to the world around us.

    Featuring:

    Prof. Richard A. Epstein, Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law and Director, Classical Liberal Institute, New York University School of Law
    Prof. Todd J. Zywicki, George Mason University Foundation Professor of Law, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University
