The Federal Courts at a Crossroads: Our Rights and the Courts’ Future at Stake in an Election Year
The future of our federal judiciary — particularly the Supreme Court — will effectively be on the ballot in November when voters choose the next President and new class of senators. This seminar explains why every American should care about who sits on the federal courts, and what’s at stake during an election year.
The Federal Courts at a Crossroads: Our Rights and the Courts’ Future at Stake in an Election Year, a free online course organized by People For the American Way, is now enrolling.
Over six weeks, you’ll cover the following:
- An introduction to the federal judiciary and the importance of the courts
- What’s at stake: Women’s rights, voters’ rights, LGBT rights and the environment
- An end-of-term wrap-up examining cases just before the Supreme Court
- Looking ahead: Rights at stake during the Court’s next term
This course runs from June 9 through July 18. Enrollment is now closed. Please look into our other upcoming courses. Read course expectations.
