December 6, 2022

The last few years have proven difficult for the United States Supreme Court and, indirectly for the third branch of government in general.

The country has experienced conflict arising from election-year appointments, Covid-required delays and closures, new methods of rendering decisions, and a more frequent expression of disagreement with judicial decisions than has been present in the past. This presentation will focus primarily on the United States Supreme Court as an institution, as reflected through the lens of the current Court membership and against a backdrop of the decisions the Court rendered during its 2021-2022 term

What will I learn?

During this course, you will learn to:

  • Examine the changes in the High Court’s membership and the implications on the Court’s ideology and practices;
  • Review and reflect upon the most significant decisions of the 2021-2022 term, highlighting the division of opinion on the important cases and the potential long-term ramifications of the decisions; and
  • Contemplate the cases that the Court will hear and decide in its current term and consider whether the cert grants of the past two terms may indicate a likely trajectory.
