In this standalone class, Scott Harshbarger, former Attorney General of Massachusetts, will continue the conversation from where he left off in the 2024 Fall Lifetime Learning session. The class will continue its discussion and evaluation of the strength and fragility of democracy and the rule of law in 2025 as the new and former president transitions into office and seeks to implement the campaign agenda and promises that seem to have the approval of a majority of our fellow citizens who voted. With Republican majorities in both the House and Senate, the continuing conservative Supreme Court, and the appointment and influence of powerful private sector leaders and donors, will the Center hold? Will traditional norms, values, and principles that heretofore deemed fundamental to our democracy prevail?

Scott will moderate the discussion and provide insight using his background as a former Attorney General and as the National President of Common Cause, as well as Chair of Lawyers Defending American Democracy.
