ABA Annual Meeting 2018: Blockbuster Supreme Court Decisions in a Partisan Era

In this time of division within the U.S., the decisions of the government seem to carry more weight than ever. In this report from On The Road at ABA Annual Meeting 2018, host Laurence Colletti along with guests Kevin Davis and Dean Erwin Chemerinsky take a look at the state of the Supreme Court during this time of intense polarization. To cover such a complex topic they discuss the long term effects of this session’s blockbuster cases, the cases they anticipate will carry importance during the next term, and the role a justice’s ideology plays in their decision making.

Kevin Davis is an award-winning journalist, author and magazine writer based in Chicago.

Erwin Chemerinsky is the founding dean, distinguished professor of law, and Raymond Pryke Professor of First Amendment Law at the University of California, Irvine School of Law.
