On Thursday, September 18, Penn Law’s American Constitution Society Chapter hosted an ACS Supreme Court Review Panel in which experts discussed cases and their insights on the previous Supreme Court term. Panelists included Garrett Epps, Professor of Law at the University of Baltimore School of Law; Seth Kreimer, Kenneth W. Gemmill Professor of Law at Penn Law; Renee Landers, Professor of Law at Suffolk University Law School; and Mary Catherine Roper L’93, Senior Staff Attorney at the ACLU of Pennsylvania. Sophia Lee, Professor of Law and History at Penn Law, moderated the panel.
Panelists discussed past rulings and their implications, and provided insights into future legal issues, such as the Hobby Lobby case, Whitewood v. Wolf, the Affordable Care Act, and the Fourth Amendment.
Lizzie Steyngrob, the Speakers Chair, who spent all summer compiling the panel, remarked: “I started thinking about who I wanted on the group dynamic level, and I knew that Professor Kreimer had argued this case Whitewood, so I wanted him on the panel… We’re trying to bring a recap for law students, which I think we got!”
“We’re going to remind you why you came to law school…b/c we want to change the world”-Lizzie Steyngrob, ACS Supreme Court Review #pennlaw
