Presented by Morgan Stanley (Schmitt-Young Group).*
The Supreme Court’s most recent term was marked by on-line arguments, an unusually large number of “shadow docket” decisions, and the Biden administration securing dismissal of several high profile cases challenging Trump administration policies that the Biden administration is reversing. The Fulton case was the most watched of cases affecting LGBTQ rights, but there were large numbers of other significant cases addressing important issues including the Affordable Care Act, student speech, immigration, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, administrative law judges, voting rights, charitable disclosure requirements, search and seizure, juvenile life sentences, standing, the deliberative process privilege, separation of powers, personal jurisdiction, the Alien Tort Statute, and more. This panel will review the decisions issued during the 2020-2021 term, examine what those rulings reveal about the Court’s conservative majority, and preview the cases teed up for decision next term.
