BY ROXY SZAL | Friday, June 30, marked the end of a roller coaster of a Supreme Court term. The same day, legal experts and commentators gathered for the 13th Annual Supreme Court Review at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), co-sponsored by Ms . magazine.
The panel discussed the high Court’s bombshell rulings from the last several months, which put an end to affirmative action, protected businesses’ “constitutional” rights to discriminate against LGBTQ people under the guise of free speech, halted President Joe Biden’s authority to forgive federal student loans, and more. These monumental decisions will have ripple effects in the years and decades to come.
The event gathered Michele Goodwin , executive director of Ms . Studios and chancellor’s professor of law, in conversation with: Moira Donegan , U.S. columnist for The Guardian; Mario Barnes , professor of law at UCI Law; Mark Joseph Stern , senior writer for Slate; Jessica Clarke , professor of law at Vanderbilt Law School; and Jamelle Bouie , columnist at The New York Times.
