SUMMARY:Lessons from Hungary: Dismantling the Autocratic Playbook
DESCRIPTION:Join LDAD on May 19\, 2026\, for a discussion with UCLA Law Professor Scott Cummings and LDAD Executive Director Lauren Stiller Rikleen on what lessons American lawyers can learn from Hungary’s experience of democratic resistance to autocracy.  \nWebinar Details: \nDate: Tuesday\, May 19\, 2026 \nTime: 4:00 pm ET \nRegister here (there is no charge to attend): Webinar Registration \nThe recent defeat of Hungary’s far-right populist leader\, upheld by the Trump administration as a model after sixteen years of autocratic rule\, has significant repercussions for democracy around the world—especially in the United States. \nIn 2023\, UCLA Law Professor Scott Cummings was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship to study how lawyers assist—and resist—autocrats seeking to capture state systems and hold power\, and spent significant time in Hungary researching how lawyers responded to that country’s rule-of-law crisis. \nJoin this fascinating conversation with Professor Cummings about what lessons American lawyers can learn from Hungary’s experience of democratic resistance.
