For the health and safety of our patrons and speakers, masks may be required for indoor in-person Houston Seminar events, and we strongly prefer registrants to be fully vaccinated. Since events are held at a variety of venues with their own policies and protocols, there may be other requirements for some courses. We make every effort to inform guests in a timely manner if there are additional health and safety guidelines they will be asked to follow. Our trips and study tours, particularly those that include shared transportation or plane flights, may also require guidelines beyond those for in-person courses, which will be determined in conjunction with venues, vendors, and local guidelines. We will make every effort to announce these guidelines as far in advance as possible. Thank you for bearing with us as we continue to navigate the world of COVID-19 while bringing enriching experiences to our audiences.
The U.S. Supreme Court: Update 2023
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, 11:00 A.M.–12:30 P.M.
ZOOM INFORMATION WILL BE EMAILED TO SUBSCRIBERS.
In its last term, the Supreme Court’s new conservative majority flexed its muscle and handed down a series of controversial decisions that ap- pear to have shaken public belief in the Court’s impartiality. Noted legal scholar and commentator Stephen Vladeck joins us again for an update on the Court’s current term and his thoughts on what we might expect in the future.
Stephen Vladeck is a nationally recognized expert on the federal courts and constitutional law. He currently holds the Charles Alan Wright Chair in Federal Courts at the University of Texas School of Law and is a distin- guished scholar at the Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law. He has argued a number of cases before the U.S. Supreme Court and the Texas Supreme Court, has served as an expert witness in federal and state courts, and has received numerous awards for his legal scholarship. Professor Vladeck is also recognized for his prolific popular writing, his podcasts and blogs, his legal casebooks on national security, and his appearances as CNN’s Supreme Court analyst. His new book on the Court, The Shadow Docket, is scheduled for release in May 2023.
