The COVID-19 pandemic has proven to be a threat not only to the health and safety of Americans, but also to our way of life. Under the aegis of public safety, federal, state and local governments have violated constitutional law by implementing regulations and emergency orders by executive decree.

As elected leaders and bureaucrats have taken turns trampling civil rights under foot, NCLA has been working overtime to restore the constitutional guardrails on the Administrative State’s pandemic response.

This virtual Lunch and Law will address the cases NCLA has brought (and heart-wrenching stories we have heard) in the past couple of months regarding overreach in the context of the Covid-19 lockdowns.

Please join an in-depth discussion with members of NCLA’s litigation team to discuss the various unlawful actions we’re challenging, the legal theories we are pursuing, and learn how the organization is fighting to keep these precedents from permanently damaging your civil liberties.
