ACS Nashville: 2025 Annual U.S. Supreme Court Preview

On October 8, 2025, please join the ACS Nashville Chapter at Bass, Berry & Sims PLC for a discussion with Stephen Vladeck, The Agnes Williams Sesquicentennial Professor of Federal Courts at Georgetown University Law Center, on the 2025 Supreme Court Term.

Vladeck is author of the New York Times-bestselling book, “The Shadow Docket: How the Supreme Court Uses Stealth Rulings to Amass Power and Undermine the Republic,” which has won numerous awards, including the 2024 Order of the Coif Book Award. Vladeck is also a highly regarded appellate advocate, having argued before the U.S. Supreme Court and numerous lower federal civilian and military courts.

He has received numerous awards for his influential and widely cited legal scholarship, his prolific popular writing, his teaching, and his service to the legal profession—including the 2024 University of Texas President’s Research Impact Award and his selection by the Order of the Coif to serve as its Distinguished Visiting Professor for 2025.
