Law in the Headlines: Exploring Current Legal Controversies, with Leora Harpaz

Law in the Headlines: Exploring Current Legal Controversies, with Leora Harpaz
February 22, 2024 @ 10:30-11:45am
Leora will focus on cases where the Supreme Court has made recent decisions ranging from agreeing to add a case to its docket, granting or denying an emergency application, or hearing an oral argument. The cases include an Eighth Amendment Cruel and Unusual Punishment challenge to a city imposing criminal penalties on homeless people for camping on public property; two cases where the issue is whether censorship in the use of a social media account by a government official is state action subject to First Amendment limits; and a case challenging West Point’s use of race in deciding who to admit. Leora welcomes your suggestions for other subjects you’d like to hear about. Please use the following link if you would like to make suggestions for topics you would like covered in upcoming classes:
