What Judges Should Know About Election Law

Peter Koelling, Hon. Tani Cantil-Sakauye, Hon. Peter Reyes, Hon. Mark Martin

In this program we will try to answer:

  • What big-picture considerations should judges think about?
  • What are the most common federal-law issues that judges should be aware of?
  • How did courts resolve the most common state-law claims?
  • What considerations are relevant as judges decide pre-election cases?
  • How should judges balance the obligation to explain election decisions against the litigation’s accelerated timeline and resource-intensiveness?
