In celebration of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month, ��; Lardner hosted a firmwide virtual program on May 28 featuring . He is the Chief Justice Earl Warren Professor of Constitutional Law at NYU School of Law and the Director of the Meltzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging.

The theme of the program was “What’s at Stake at the Supreme Court This Term” and featured Yoshino’s insightful analysis of recent and anticipated decisions in cases about voting rights, birthright citizenship, the power to impose tariffs, and other hot topics before the Court.

He explained how each of these cases arrived at the Supreme Court, the key legal and constitutional issues they address, how the justices ruled, and the anticipated impact of those decisions now and in the future. He also offered a few of his insights on the evolving legal landscape of workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion before turning to some of the issues that the Court may weigh in on next term.

“The major questions and non-delegation doctrines are spaces to watch for the future,” he said, because it directly implicates how much authority Congress can hand over to the executive branch.”

Yoshino’s insights offered timely perspective on the legal and practical questions organizations are facing today, while also underscoring the importance of thoughtful, informed engagement with inclusion in a changing world.

This AANHPI Heritage Month program is part of an ongoing Foley series that acknowledges the various cultural and heritage months by featuring an accomplished member of the diaspora.
