92Y, and its partner, the Forum on Law, Culture & Society at NYU School of Law, continues its annual program, Law of the Land: the Supreme Court's Year in Review. We take you inside the Court’s major rulings and discuss their bearing on past and future cases.
The Supreme Court of the United States is the branch of government with the most mystery, and curiosity. The proceedings are not televised, and yet many are fascinated by the goings on at the High Court, despite having little understanding of the cases decided there, and what they mean for most people.
Join us with Ron Klain, Kenji Yoshino, Roberta Kaplan and our moderator Thane Rosenbaum for another fascinating look at the Supreme Court's just concluded term, and reactions to Brett Kavanaugh's nomination.
