Recent Supreme Court terms have brought blockbuster decisions, from the overturning of Roe v. Wade, to the dismantling of affirmative action in higher education as we know it, to seriously undermining the Clean Water Act’s protections. When the 2023-2024 term of the Supreme Court opens October 2, the docket will already be stacked with consequential cases. The Court is poised to determine the future of critical gun safety laws keeping guns out of the hands of those subject to domestic violence restraining orders, the Chevron doctrine allowing expert agencies to implement federal safeguards such as those protecting clean air and water, the future of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and more.
