Welcome to LawTalk, a podcast series produced by the University of Minnesota Law School featuring events, webinars, and panel discussions about diverse topics at the intersection of law, policy, and education.

This episode, Horizontal Federalism and Contemporary Constitutional Controversies
examines the equal powers given to states through the US Constitution and what happens when a state enacts policy that has consequences beyond its borders. This entails understanding the legal boundaries of state-to-state borders and how they intersect with each other.


Professor Allan Erbsen explores how the Supreme Court itself has struggled with establishing legal doctrine regarding how one state’s laws may put restraints on neighboring states and the roots for this instability in modern doctrine are embedded in the US Constitution’s design.

This lecture is part of the Popham, Haik, Schnobrich/Lindquist and Vennum Professor of Law Appointment Lecture. A video replay of the entire event is available on the Minnesota Law YouTube channel. (https://youtu.be/HKHgLa_Kg1A)
