Summary:

The Supreme Court's recently-concluded Term already seems clearly to be one for the ages. This is not only because its final decisions included rejection of Roe v. Wade and Roe's "progeny," as well as the extension of Second Amendment rights. The Term also was pathbreaking in a majority's use and abuse of well-established rules and customs regarding the Court's emergency powers and its "shadow docket." It further featured key administrative law rulings and a new majority's apparent rejection of Chief Justice Roberts's concern for the established institutional role of the Court.

Speaker:
Professor Avi Soifer, William S. Richardson School of Law
