Decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court have a ripple effect throughout society. Join a former federal prosecutor and congressman as they revisit the key decisions from the Supreme Court’s latest term and discuss the impact of each holding on legal practice, your clients and the community.
Topics will include:
-
Mullin v. Doe: A challenge by Syrian and Haitian nationals to the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Syria and Haiti. The Court upheld the government’s authority to end TPS.
-
Monsanto v. Durnell: A major ruling blocking thousands of lawsuits against Roundup by holding that federal EPA determinations preempt state-law claims.
-
Mullin v. Al Otro Lado: A significant immigration ruling allowing the government to turn back asylum seekers at the southern border under migrant-management practices.
-
Wolford v. Lopez: The Court struck down Hawaii’s restrictions on carrying firearms on private property open to the public, expanding gun-rights protections.
-
Cisco Systems, Inc. v. Doe: A major decision narrowing the Alien Tort Statute, holding that only a small set of historically recognized international-law violations can be litigated in U.S. courts.
-
Exxon Mobil Corp. v. Corporación Cimex, S.A.: A ruling allowing Exxon to sue Cuban state entities for property seized after the 1959 revolution, holding that the Helms-Burton Act overrides sovereign immunity.
-
Blanche v. Lau: Immigration ruling holding that border officers do not need clear and convincing evidence of a crime involving moral turpitude to deny re-entry to a lawful permanent resident.
-
Landor v. Louisiana Department of Corrections: Holding that state prison officials cannot be sued personally under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act unless they consent.
-
Pung v. Isabella County, Michigan: A ruling that “just compensation” in tax-sale cases is measured by the auction sale price, not hypothetical market value.
-
Trump v. Barbara: A 6-3 ruling that President Trump’s executive order ending birthright citizenship violates the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. The Court held that children born in the U.S. to temporary or unauthorized-status parents are "subject to the jurisdiction" thereof and citizens at birth under the 14th Amendment.
