The U.S. Supreme Court performs one of the most important functions of the U.S. government, though little is known about it to the average American. The cases it decides, how it decides them, and its day-to-day workings remain a mystery to many observers of our form of government. Ms. Marcia Coyle of the National Law Journal will be on hand to provide a better understanding of the U.S. Supreme Court. In addition to discussing the ‘nuts-and-bolts’ of the Court, she will share her insights on the politics of filling the vacancy caused by the death of Associate Justice Antonin Scalia, and discuss the recently-decided Evenwel v. Abbott case involving legislative redistricting. Ms. Coyle will also provide a preview of what’s to come on the U.S. Supreme Court’s docket.
