Vikram Amar and Erwin Chemerinsky — 2020-2021 Supreme Court Term

Hosts Jill Wine-Banks and Victor Shi recorded the first-ever live podcast recording at the University of Illinois, Urbana Champaign Law School with Vikram Amar, Dean of the University of Illinois Law School in Urbana Champaign, and Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean of UC Berkeley Law. Together, we discussed important cases from the current Supreme Court term (including California v. Texas, Fulton vs. The City of Philadelphia, and election-related cases), Amy Coney Barrett’s confirmation to the court, what cases you should look for during the rest of the term, and what, if anything, should be done about what many perceive as stolen seats on the Supreme Court as a result of the Senate refusing to confirm President Obama’s nominee 8 months before the 2016 election and then confirming Justice Barrett days before voting ended in 2020.

• Vikram Amar became the dean of UIUC Law School in 2015, after having been a professor of law for many years at law schools in the University of California System. Dean Amar is also one of the most eminent and frequently cited authorities in constitutional law, federal courts, and civil procedure, having produced several books and over 60 articles in leading law reviews. TY for being here. 
• Erwin Chemerinsky has been the Dean of Berkeley Law since July 1, 2017. Prior to that, he taught at Duke University, USC Law School, and UCLA, where Victor will be starting next quarter. Dean Chemerinsky is also the author of eleven books, including leading casebooks and treatises about constitutional law, criminal procedure, and federal jurisdiction.
