What’s the Verdict?

Ian Drake, PhD, Associate Professor of Political Science and Jurisprudence, Montclair State University

Each year, the Supreme Court receives over 8,000 case petitions for certiorari (consideration) and less than 1% are reviewed. The cases chosen are significant. In this session, participants are encouraged to consider some of the pending cases before the Court. Through an examination of texts and documents participants can, with the guidance of prompting questions, consider and discuss the contemporary political and moral concerns raised by what’s on the Supreme Court docket right now.

Ian Drake is an Associate Professor of Political Science and Jurisprudence at Montclair State University. He obtained his PhD in American History from the University of Maryland in 2010. His teaching interests include the American judiciary and legal system, the US Supreme Court and constitutional history, and the history and contemporary study of law and society. Prior to earning his PhD in history, he practiced insurance and tort law.
