Supreme Court Preview
- This is a past program
The Supreme Court’s new term begins Monday, October 7 and promises to be a momentous one. Not only does the term overlap with a presidential election year, the court is also expected to review the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, a New York City gun control law, and cases involving workplace rights of LGBTQ employees. Abortion cases and voting rights may also be on the docket. Loyola Law School professor Kimberly West-Faulcon, Pepperdine law professor Derek T. Muller, and UCLA law professor Jennifer Chacón join moderator Rick Hasen, UC Irvine political science and law professor, to preview the potential cases.
