COURSES – SPRING 2026 / Contemporary Issues / SUPREME COURT
Coordinators: Michael Wellner, Sandra Abramson, Babette Ceccotti
With the Supreme Court now composed of six Republican-appointed “conservative” justices, and just three “liberal” ones, and so many very urgent and critical issues being presented by the Trump presidency, the decisions of the Supreme Court are more urgent and important than perhaps any time in recent history.
Join us as each class examines one or more cases before the Court and its decisions.
