A Peek Inside SCOTUS

The US Supreme Court is the branch of the federal government with the most mystery and it arouses the greatest curiosity. The proceedings are not televised, and yet many are fascinated by the goings on at the high court, despite having little understanding of the cases decided there and what they mean for most people. The 92nd Street Y and its partner, the Forum on Law, Culture & Society at NYU School of Law, begins a new annual program, “Law of the Land: the Supreme Court’s Year in Review” that will take audiences inside SCOTUS’ major rulings and discuss their bearing on past and future cases. This year offers the added intrigue of a new presidential nominee to the bench. Moderator Thane Rosenbaum, director of NYU’s Forum, leads a discussion with Adam Liptak of the New York Times, Dahlia Lithwick of Slate, and NYU Law’s Professor Kenji Yoshino and Dean Trevor Morrison. 1395 Lexington Avenue at 92nd St., Buttenwieser Hall. Jul. 6, 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $32, $15 for those 35 and younger at 92y.org.
