A Momentous Term: The Supreme Court Overturns Roe v. Wade; Bolsters Second Amendment and Religion Rights; Reigns in Federal Regulatory Power

The Court last term rendered several landmark decisions. It overruled Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, returning the abortion issue to the states. It held that the Second Amendment guarantees a right to carry a gun for self-defense in public. It enhanced individual protections under the free exercise of religion. And, the Court held the EPA lacked regulatory power to adopt a “clean power plan” to diminish greenhouse emissions from “fossil fuels.”

The Court also decided important issues concerning freedom of speech, criminal procedure, and civil rights litigation. These and other decisions of the past term will be analyzed and discussed at the program.

The highly accomplished faculty includes a law school Dean, constitutional scholars, a federal circuit court judge, law professors, civil rights experts, and constitutional litigators.

This well-attended program is in its 33rd year. It is a must for anyone interested in the United States Supreme Court and constitutional law.
