Seismic Shifts: The Story of the Supreme Court in the Last Six Months from a State and Local Government Perspective  (1.5 credits Professional Practice)

In the last six months, the Supreme Court has lost a Justice, seen its Chief Justice take a sharp turn to the left, has had to confront practical and legal challenges related to COVID-19, and has completed another blockbuster term. What do these decisions, changes, and trends mean for the states and local governments? And what changes might be ahead as a new Justice joins the bench and the possibility of Court reform lurks on the horizon?
