Supreme Court Preview 2015 Term (Video)
In early October 2015, my colleague Chris Schmidt and I participated in an hour-long Preview of the Supreme Court’s current 2015 Term that was sponsored by Chicago-Kent’s American Constitution Society.
Professor Schmidt provided an overview of the previous Term as well as brief comments on several of the cases pending in the current Term.
I spoke at some length about one particular case pending in the current Term, the Fisher affirmative action case now before the Court for the second time.
I am pleased to post a video of this Preview, and hope you find it of interest. Special thanks to Chicago-Kent’s Audio-Visual staff and its Public Relations staff, as well as to ACS.

TO MY READERS
It has been a while since I reorganized all of my posts (including videos and podcasts) in order to provide greater and more efficient accessibility for readers. There are now more than 150 posts.
I consider this reorganization important, and I hope it is also useful to you, because my posts are not intended to be of short-term utility. Instead, they are intended to serve the continuing educational needs of lawyers, law students, academics and the public at large.
I encourage you to search within each post for case names, topics and the like, that you are interested in.
I thank all of you for your ongoing support of this blog. I also invite you to follow me on Twitter @NahmodLaw.
