Description: This fast-paced seminar focuses on recent U.S. Supreme Court opinions that interpret a broad range of federal civil and criminal statutory law and procedure, that explore constitutional developments, or that apply important legal doctrines. In light of the ever-changing legal environment in which lawyers practice, this seminar highlights high Court rulings announcing a new direction, immediately impacting or slowly developing existing law, or reversing precedent, and points out current trends and tendencies and their implications for the bar. The course previews significant cases pending before the Court and concludes with an ethics program lasting one-hour. This ethics session analyzes the tension arising from lawyers’ conduct that high Court rulings permit, but that ethical rules prohibit or restrict.
Undoubtedly, Supreme Court decisions affect all lawyers, whether they are in private practice, serve as in-house counsel, represent a governmental agency, or teach. Thus, for example, pleading and evidentiary holdings expanding or limiting damages or appellate review will influence lawyers in bringing, fighting, appealing or settling cases; ERISA rulings may override state law and disturb state court domestic practice; or new administrative rulings may alter agency policy and discretion. As important, change is coming to the Court, change that may upset expectations, alter settled law, and shape lawyers’ advice to their clients.
