NYU Law Forum - Supreme Court (P)review

Supreme Court (P)review

Wednesday, September 14, 1:10–2:25 p.m.

RSVP HERE

The US Supreme Court handed down a series of highly consequential rulings in its recently concluded term. In addition to eliminating federal constitutional protections for abortion, the Court sharply curtailed the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to fight climate change, expanded Second Amendment protection for gun owners, and broadened religious rights under the First Amendment. The six conservative justices repeatedly banded together to outvote their liberal colleagues. What does this presage for the upcoming term? What major cases are already on the docket? And has the Court become politicized in a way that threatens its legitimacy—or is that question itself a product of today’s highly polarized political environment? At this Forum, a panel of experts will examine these and other questions.
