Disorder in the Court: Making Sense of the Supreme Court

Michelle Helene Belco, Ph.D., J.D.

Join us for a lively and non-partisan look at the origins and development of the Supreme Court. Sit back as we ponder how the Supreme Court and their decisions have created a wild ride for litigants and constitutional lawyers. We look first at its beginnings as a circuit court of justices comprised of a mix of President Washington’s allies and prominent public figures traveling reluctantly on horseback to hear cases in the thirteen states. We then consider how the Supreme Court was shaped by presidential appointments, the cases that made them famous (or infamous), and the Chief Justices who led the Courts from Chief Justice Marshall to Roberts.
