One-time in-Person | This class is completed
In another year marked by charges of judicial misconduct and two new abortion cases, the Supreme Court considered several critical issues involving criminal charges against former President Trump and his eligibility to resume office. UC Professor Emeritus Howard Tolley will provide an overview that also includes decisions on guns, homelessness, workers’ rights, and more. In 2024, as in 1968 and 2000, the court and its justices have become political targets in a close, bitterly contested Presidential election.
