ANA’s Legal Roundup with UM Law Professors

It’s time once again to check in with A New Angle’s Chief Legal Correspondents Craig Cowie and Constance Van Kley, law professors at the University of Montana. 2026 is sure to bring many consequential legal developments, and Constance and Craig will help us try to make sense of what to expect.

In this conversation Justin, Craig and Constance talk about the changing power of the executive and the rise of the unitary executive theory. They discuss the shadow docket and the tendency for courts in this administration to expedite processes, making the path to decisions less clear. Craig and Constance consider the topics they have in focus for the remainder of this year.
