April 6, 2026

The Society for the Rule of Law is proud to announce that our webinar “Benign Prerogative,” The Presidential Pardon Power and the Rule of Law has been approved for CLE credit in Illinois. Attorneys licensed in other jurisdictions may be able to claim credit in their home state and should consult their state’s CLE rules. In order to receive credit, users must successfully complete our verification survey after the webinar is complete. To complete this survey, you will need to correctly record the two attendance codes given out during the webinar.

You can access the survey from a link posted to the livestream chat or in the Webinar event description on your streaming platform (LinkedIn, YouTube, and Facebook Live). We will post the link for you again in the livestream chat at the end of the webinar. If you are watching this from X, you will be able to locate the link in a follow-up post.

The webinar, taking place Tuesday, April 7, at 12:00 PM ET, will feature Saikrishna Prakash, James Monroe Distinguished Professor of Law and Horace W. Goldsmith Research Professor of Law at the University of Virginia School of Law, and Gregg Nunziata, our Executive Director.

We’ll be discussing Prakash’s new book The Presidential Pardon: The Short Clause with a Long, Troubled History, as well as the history of the Pardon Power through the lens of Hamilton’s Federalist 74.
