Each year, the Supreme Court of the United States announces new rulings with deep consequences for our lives. This third volume in Palgrave's SCOTUS series describes, explains, and contextualizes the landmark cases of the US Supreme Court in the term ending 2020. With a close look at cases involving key issues and debates in American politics and society,

tackles the Court's rulings on LGBT discrimination, abortion regulation, subpoenas of the Trump administration, the Electoral College, DACA and presidential power, Native rights, cross-border rights, the Second Amendment, church and state, separation of powers, criminal justice, and more. Written by notable scholars in political science and law, the chapters in

present the details of each ruling, its meaning for constitutional debate, and its impact on public policy or partisan politics. Finally,
SCOTUS 2020
offers an analysis of the current state of ideological and interpretive divisions on the Court.
Reviews / Votes
"SCOTUS 2020: Major Decisions and Developments of the U.S. Supreme Court offers an evenhanded, thoughtful overview of the Supreme Court's October 2019 Term. . SCOTUS 2020 is accessible to nonlawyers and useful either as a pedagogical tool for learning about the Court, or for readers wanting a recap of the Term without wading through the opinions in all 16 cases it considers." (Donald A. Daugherty, The Federalist Society Review, Vol. 22, 2021)
