NYU Law Forum: Supreme Court Preview

The US Supreme Court is at center stage as the nation mourns the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and a political brawl is underway over the selection of her successor. Amidst all this, the Court begins a new term on October 1, and a number of major cases are already on the docket. This year we add a twist to our usual Forum that previews the upcoming term: The discussion will feature the Strict Scrutiny podcast team, including NYU Law’s Melissa Murray, and they’ll be recording the event as a podcast episode. You can read about the Strict Scrutiny crew on their website, and at this Forum they’ll offer views on cases including the latest challenge to the Affordable Care Act to reach the Court (California v. Texas /Texas v. California), and one pitting First Amendment free-exercise claims against antidiscrimination law (Fulton v. City of Philadelphia). They’ll also continue their discussion about Justice Ginsburg’s legacy and the battle to fill her vacancy.

The NYU Law Forum is sponsored by Latham and Watkins.
