With the start of President Trump’s second term, a wave of executive actions and legislative proposals has already sparked legal and political pushback from California and other states. This symposium will examine how California’s leadership is responding to shifts in national policy; it will explore the evolving dynamics of federalism in the U.S. as the new administration takes office and discuss how the California government and legislature are likely to address four critical policy areas—immigration, reproductive rights, civil rights, and the environment.
Each issue will be explored through expert-led panel discussions. Panels will feature insights from lawmakers, legal scholars, and policy leaders, including Stanford Law School professors Richard Ford, Lucas Guttentag, Jane Schacter, and Debbie Sivas. Keynote Speaker Attorney General Rob Bonta will deliver a lunchtime keynote, outlining the California Department of Justice’s legal strategy in response to new federal policies.
We are pleased to welcome invited panelists from across academia, government, and advocacy groups to share insights on California’s role in these critical policy areas.
