Prof. Wasserman on the National Constitution Center’s “We the People”

Prof. Howard Wasserman appeared on the National Constitution Center’s “We the People” podcast episode titled When Should Judges Issue Nationwide Injunctions?, debating the nature and validity of injunctions that protect beyond the plaintiffs in constitutional cases. The National Constitution Center is a non-partisan nonprofit organization, chartered by Congress to increase awareness and understanding of the Constitution among the American people.

Prof. Wasserman’s arguments build on his 2018 paper Nationwide Injunctions Are Really “Universal” Injunctions and They Are Never Appropriate: On the Scope of Injunctions in Constitutional Litigation (Lewis & Clark Law Review) and several forthcoming works.
