Heather Mac Donald on Law, Order, and Los Angeles

The Orange County Federalist Society is pleased to host Heather Mac Donald, acclaimed author and senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, for a timely discussion on the breakdown of law and order in California and what the recent unrest in Los Angeles reveals about the state’s political and cultural dysfunction.

 

In her signature analytical style, Mac Donald will examine how state and local leadership have undermined constitutional governance by tolerating lawlessness, prioritizing ideological agendas over public safety, and promoting policies that reward contempt for American principles. Drawing on current headlines and longstanding patterns, her talk will explore:

 

• The significance of the June illegal immigration riots in Los Angeles
• How California's leadership narrative enables social and legal decay
• Broader implications for federalism, citizenship, and the rule of law

 

Join us for this bold and wide-ranging conversation about the legal, political, and cultural forces reshaping California—and what citizens and legal professionals can do to restore constitutional order.

Cost: 

$30/members, $35/non-members, $20/students 

Includes lunch and 1 hour of MCLE credit (The Federalist Society is a California State Bar approved provider of MCLE.)
