Join ACS for our Annual National Supreme Court Preview, featuring a diverse group of constitutional and legal experts offering their insights into what we can expect from the upcoming U.S. Supreme Court Term that begins on October 6th.
Last Term, the conservative-dominated Supreme Court demonstrated that it remains committed to reshaping the law to fit the demands of the conservative legal movement while frequently using the so-called "Shadow Docket" to enable some of the most harmful policies of the Trump administration without explanation. At a time when the Supreme Court has allowed the rule of law to be stretched to the breaking point, the significance of the upcoming Term cannot be overstated. What can we expect as the justices prepare to once again weigh in on the power of the President and the civil and constitutional rights of voters, racial and sexual minorities, immigrants, students, the criminally accused, and other vulnerable communities?
