First Monday Supreme Court Preview
October 3, 2022 @ 12:30 pm - 1:45 pm
The CSULB Legal Studies Program and Political Science Departments are proud to host their fourth annual “First Monday Supreme Court Preview” live in person on Monday, October 3, from 12:30-1:45 PM, in SSPA 110.
The court begins its 2022-23 term this coming Monday with a new Associate Justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first African-American woman to sit on the high court. But her votes in major cases are sure to be outnumbered by a solid super-majority of conservative Justices, who just last term overturned the constitutional right to abortion, further undermined gun control regulations, and weakened the separation of church and state. There are a number of issues on the docket this year that are sure to bring more controversy: issues like LGBTQ rights, religious freedom, voting rights, criminal justice, and affirmative action in higher education.
Come join CSULB Political Science faculty Kathryn Perkins, Alexandra Lohman, and Jason Whitehead as we talk through these issues and more. We’ll do our best to try to help students, faculty, and interested citizens understand better what’s going on in these controversies, and in the Supreme Court more generally. And we will also answer your questions.
