Santa Clara Law Professor Pratheepan (Deep) Gulasekaram participated in a panel discussion sponsored by the American Association of Law Schools held in Washington, DC entitled “Congressional Dysfunction and Executive Lawmaking During the Obama Administration”. The panel discussed whether the use of executive actions conflicts with the principle of federalism by either intruding upon policy areas belonging to states or attempting to force state collaboration with the federal government.

Video of the panel, including Prof. Gulasekaram’s paper presentation “The President and Immigration Federalism,” may be viewed at C-Span.
