The Supreme Court's recent ruling on Senate Bill 8 has called into question the Supreme Court's use of the so-called "shadow docket." For those who have questions on what is the "shadow docket," how the Supreme Court approaches abortion and other constitutional issues, and what the next steps are in the litigation over reproductive rights in Texas, Professor Steve Vladeck, an expert on the "shadow docket," is here to answer your questions. Please join him and the American Constitution Society at Texas Law on Constitution Day, September 17, 2021, at 12:00 pm, for a discussion about how Supreme Court does and doesn’t handle constitutional issues—and what’s changed in recent years with the rise of the “shadow docket."

Alumni Association Executive Committee Meeting Fall 2021

Full event information: https://law.utexas.edu/calendar/2021/09/24/60886/

LS4BL x ACS's Alternative Curriculum Series are hour-long discussions attempting to integrate principles of racial justice into the 1L core curriculum. The discussions seek not only to shed light on the extent of the permeation of racial inequalities in every aspect of the law, but to equip law students with the necessary tools to speak up in class, ponder hard topics, and work to change the culture of our law school curriculum at large.

Each discussion is centered on one of the six 1L courses and is facilitated by a professor who is both knowledgeable in the subject and demonstrates a commitment to racial justice. The first session is on Con Law, to be facilitated by Professor Jordan Steiker.
