Under the Gavel: The U.S. Supreme Court’s Most Recent Term in Review

With rulings on major issues expected by the start of summer 2026, the United States Supreme Court is once again at the center of key legal and policy debates. An all-star panel of legal scholars analyzes the meaning and implications of the latest Supreme Court cases and rulings on issues including: birthright citizenship, gun rights, tariffs, voting rights, election and campaign finance rules, the president’s power to fire agency commissioners and members of the Federal Reserve, the treatment of transgender athletes, and much more. The panelists will also consider the implications of these rulings on the role of the courts in response to the Trump Administration’s broad assertions of executive power.
Panelists include: Cary Franklin, the McDonald/Wright Chair of Law Faculty Director of the Center on Reproductive Health, Law, and Policy and Faculty Director of the Williams Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles; Justin Levitt, the White House's first Senior Policy Advisor for Democracy and Voting Rights (2021-22) and Professor of Law at Loyola Marymount University; Eugene Volokh, the Gary T. Schwartz Distinguished Professor of Law Emeritus at the University of California, Los Angeles and Senior Fellow at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution; and Kimberly West-Faulcon, Professor of Law and James P. Bradley Chair in Constitutional Law at Loyola Marymount University. Moderated by Rick Hasen, the Gary T. Schwartz Endowed Chair in Law, Professor of Law and Political Science, and Director, Safeguarding Democracy Project at the University of California, Los Angeles.
