Five Cases in eight days that have changed what I say to law students about the Supreme Court
Professors like me are revising their lesson plans because so much has changed. Law students are impacted, too. I got an anguished message last week from a 2022 graduate who said “Professor, I spent three years in law school, and in the last few weeks mostly all of what I learned is no longer true.”

Bruen, invalidating New York's gun permit law, appeared on my phone screen. It was exactly one month after the gun-slaughtering of children and teachers in Uvalde, Texas.
