Judge Preska (S.D.N.Y.) on Ascertaining the Law

  • Tuesday, November 10, 2026
  • 1:10–2:05 p.m.
    1. Vanderbilt Hall, Smart Classroom 214

Please join NYU FedSoc for an event with Judge Preska (S.D.N.Y.). Using two recent opinions by Judge Preska--in Peterson v. Islamic Republic of Iran and Virginia Giuffre v. Ghislaine Maxwell--we will explore how Judge Preska ascertains the law across different contexts: statutory interpretation, historical practice, and foreign law. 

Lunch will be served! Please RSVP. Add the event to your calendar.
