The U.S. Supreme Court has the final word on the major legal and constitutional controversies of our day. Abortion. Concealed carry. Church and state. Immigration. Healthcare. What will the Supreme Court decide in 2021-22? What will it mean? To what end? For whom? In a conversation moderated by Hiram Chodosh, president of CMC, Eugene Volokh and Kimberly West-Faulcon, professors at UCLA School of Law and Loyola Law School, respectively, will provide perspective, analysis, prediction, and reflection on the outcomes and impacts of the landmark cases in this 2021-22 Supreme Court term. Cases to be covered include Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization (abortion and reproductive rights), New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v Bruen (2nd Amendment), Carson v. Makin (freedom of religion), and Students for Fair Admissions Inc. v. President & Fellows of Harvard College (race and college admissions).
