This year’s Home Stretch at the Supreme Court panel discussion was moderated by Law Dork’s Chris Geidner, and featured an all-star panel of legal experts, including Kelsi Brown Corkran, Supreme Court Director at the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy & Protection and Senior Lecturer at Georgetown University Law Center; Easha Anand, Assistant Professor of Law and Co-Director of the Supreme Court Litigation Clinic at Stanford Law School; Melissa Murray, Frederick I. and Grace Stokes Professor of Law at New York University School of Law, co-host of the Strict Scrutiny podcast, and author of The U.S. Constitution: A Comprehensive and Annotated Guide for the Modern Reader; Jennifer Bennett, Principal of Gupta Wessler LLP; and CAC’s own Chief Counsel Brianne Gorod. Opening remarks for the event will be given by CAC President Elizabeth Wydra.

Our panel of distinguished experts discussed some of the most significant cases from this Supreme Court Term and looked ahead to major rulings and issues on the horizon. From battles over tariffs, birthright citizenship, and voting on the Court’s merits docket, to important questions about the separation of powers and presidential overreach on the Court’s shadow docket, there was much to discuss as the Justices enter this Term’s home stretch.
