Diversity & Social Justice Education

Professor Steven D. Schwinn of the University of Illinois Chicago School of Law will facilitate a discussion on the Supreme Court and its role in our democracy. Steve will focus particularly on recent Supreme Court trends and decisions as they relate to democracy. We'll explore Court rulings and trends relating to voting rights; the Court's approach to fundamental rights, including speech, abortion, religion, and more; Court rulings on the institutions of democracy, including the separation of powers; and, of course, Court rulings on the presidency and, in particular, former President Trump.
