Event Details

Former Independent Counsel Leon Jawarski once said, “From Watergate we learned what generations before us have known: our Constitution works. And during the Watergate years it was interpreted again so as to reaffirm that no one - absolutely no one - is above the law.” As the Mueller investigation rounds out its second year, we ask: Where is the investigation going? Will it get there unimpeded? Does it threaten Article II powers? Is it still true that no one is above the law?

Join the Bay Area Lawyer Chapter of the American Constitution Society to preview some of the most significant legal and constitutional questions raised by Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. The discussion will be led by an all-star panel of former federal prosecutors with experience in special counsel and independent counsel investigations.
