Byron White Center News

After noticing an increasing trend of controversial national injunctions, the University of Colorado Law School faculty decided it was time to unpack major issues surrounding immigration, health care and custody of children at the U.S.-Mexico border. The Byron White Center for Constitutional Law at CU Law School hosts the yearly Ira C. Rothgerber Conference, which covers various issues surrounding breaches of civil liberties and constitutional rights. This year, the theme was injunctions.

Professor Suzette Malveaux argued in defense of nationwide injunctions as a panelist at the 2018 National Association of Attorneys General Fall Meeting. The panel, moderated by District of Columbia Attorney General Karl Racine, debated the wisdom and propriety of controversial nationwide injunctions.

Suzette Malveaux, Provost Professor of Civil Rights Law and director of the Byron White Center for the Study of American Constitutional Law, spoke on a panel about social justice at the Mandela and the Law Conference, held Oct. 26 and 27 at the University of the Western Cape in South Africa.

The Hon. Carlos F. Lucero, Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, delivered the 2018 John Paul Stevens Lecture, "A Constitutional Call to Arms and Reflections on a Judicial Career."

Hon. James O. Browning, U.S. District Court, New Mexico, cited an article, "Class Actions, Civil Rights, and the National Injunction," written by Suzette Malveaux, professor and director of the Byron White Center, in his opinion issuing an injunction in New Mexico Health Connections v. United States Department of Health and Human Services.

Nationwide injunctions make sure people will be treated the same, Suzette M. Malveaux wrote in an article in July. “If an executive order is deemed unconstitutional, the plaintiffs alone should not benefit while others continue to suffer under its yoke,” Malveaux said.
