SCW Cultural Arts at Emanuel presents video conversation with  former Acting U.S. Solicitor General Neal Katyal  moderated by NY1 Anchor Errol Louis

On Sunday, March 19 at 3:00 PM, Stephen C. Widom Cultural Arts at Emanuel will present a Video Conversation with former Acting U.S. Solicitor General Neal Katyal, moderated by NY1 news anchor, host of Inside City Hall, and CNN political analyst, Errol Louis.  Neal Katyal will discuss the legal challenges that confront the US today, i.e. issues relating to the former POTUS, SCOTUS among others.

The former Obama administration Acting Solicitor General of the United States and New York Times best-selling author, Neal Katyal runs one of the largest Supreme Court practices in the world at an international law firm, where he occupies the role formerly held by now Chief Justice John Roberts.

He focuses on democracy protection, the Supreme Court, constitutional law, criminal law, and over the last year, blockchain technology. Katyal has orally argued 45 cases before the Supreme Court of the United States.

At the age of 51, he has already argued more Supreme Court cases in U.S. history than any other minority attorney, breaking the record of Thurgood Marshall. Katyal served as Acting Solicitor General during the Obama administration (the federal government’s top courtroom lawyer) and was responsible for representing the federal government in all appellate matters before the U.S. Supreme Court and the Courts of Appeals throughout the nation.

Additionally, Katyal is a law professor with more than two decades of experience at the Georgetown University Law Center where he was one of the youngest professors to have received tenure and a chaired professorship in the university’s history.

At Georgetown, Katyal also serves as faculty chair of the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection. Katyal has also been a visiting professor at both Harvard and Yale law schools. He chairs the Board of Advisors of Galaxy Digital, a blockchain/crypto company.

Katyal has received most every award a lawyer can win. In December 2017, American Lawyer magazine named him The Litigator of the Year; he was chosen from all the lawyers in the United States, for being the top litigator for a two-year period.

He earlier received the Edmund Randolph Award, the highest award the U.S. Justice Department can award a civilian, which the Attorney General presented to him in 2011. He has also been named one of the 40 Most Influential Lawyers of the Last Decade Nationwide by National Law Journal (2010); Appellate MVP by Law360 numerous times; winner of the Financial Times Innovative Lawyer Award for 2017 in two different categories (both private and public law).

Katyal has published dozens of scholarly articles in law journals, as well as op-ed articles in every widely read U.S. newspaper, and has testified numerous times before various committees of both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. He is a graduate of Yale Law School and Dartmouth College (where he currently serves as an elected Trustee).

In 2019, after Trump was accused of soliciting foreign interference in the presidential election to help his re-election bid, Katyal co-wrote Impeach: The Case Against Donald Trump, with Sam Koppelman, which debuted at #2 on the New York Times Best Seller list.

In 2020, Katyal gave his TED Talk, How To Win An Argument (At The US Supreme Court, or Anywhere), which has more than 2 million views to date.

Katyal is a frequent contributor to MSNBC and the New York Times has been named one of GQ’s Men of the Year and has appeared on virtually every major American news program, as well as Showtime’s Billions and Netflix’s House of Cards (where he played himself).

This program is funded by Pamela & Daniel Perla.
