SUMMARY:Birthright Citizenship and Allegiance: Behind the Brief
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a compelling webinar exploring the stories and legal strategy behind the amicus brief filed by Professor Eric L. Muller in the Supreme Court case Trump v. Barbara. In this engaging “fireside” chat\, Professor Muller is joined by counsel on the brief\, John Nakahata and Rachel Grossman\, and by Larry Oda\, whose family history bears witness to the enduring promise of the Fourteenth Amendment\, that All persons born or naturalized in the United States\, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof\, are citizens of the United States. \nTogether\, the panel will unpack the brief’s key legal arguments and historical context. Professor Muller will discuss how he developed the arguments and evidence for the brief\, citing historical examples from the World War II Japanese American incarceration experience when the U.S. government consistently and unquestionably recognized children born on American soil as citizens\, regardless of their parents’ perceived allegiance or domicile. John Nakahata and Rachel Grossman will explain the statutory and legal significance of those historical examples\, offering insight into how legal precedent intersects with the arguments advanced in the brief\, the role of amicus advocacy at the Supreme Court\, why this brief was powerful\, and the potential impact this brief may have on the Court’s decision. Larry Oda will share how his family story exemplifies the fundamental American right of birthright citizenship. \nBlending legal insight with personal perspective\, this conversation offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at how history\, law\, and lived experience come together to affect policymaking and impact high-stakes litigation. \nDate: April 29\, 2026 \nTime: 5:00 pm EDT \nPanelists: \n\nEric L. Muller\, author of brief and Dan K. Moore Distinguished Professor of Law in Jurisprudence and Ethics at the University of North Carolina School of Law\nJohn Nakahata\, counsel of record and Chairman\, HWG LLP\nRachel E. Grossman\, counsel and Associate\, HWG LLP\nLarry Oda\, National President\, Japanese American Citizens League

Now\, at thirty\, Dahee has found herself in a Korean American community in a New England beach town\, once more running to the rescue of her debt-ridden relative.
