Looking Back at the Last Session of the Supreme Court

The word momentous does not begin to describe the most recent session of the US Supreme Court. Arguably the most significant in decades, it brought the overruling of Roe v. Wade, the dramatic expansion of gun rights, the aggressive protection of free exercise of religion, and new limits on federal administrative power.

What will these decisions mean for our rights and our society? What can we expect next from the nine Justices? Erwin Chemerinsky, the distinguished Dean of Berkeley Law, will answer these and other questions on Thursday, October 6, at 7 p.m. (Note the change to the first Thursday of the month.)

Dean Chemerinsky also will preview his brand new book, , which debunks this controversial approach to interpreting the Constitution.

Renowned for his keen analyses and clear, concise explanations of complicated legal issues, Dean Chemerinsky writes and lectures widely. His books, articles, and media commentary make legal scholarship accessible far beyond law school walls.

He assumed the leadership of Berkeley Law in 2017, the same year National Jurist magazine named him the most influential person in legal education in the United States. He currently serves as president of the Association of American Law Schools.
