SCOTUS 2024

Major Decisions and Developments of the US Supreme Court. Edited by Howard Schweber.

Each year, the Supreme Court of the United States announces new rulings with deep consequences for our lives. This seventh volume in Palgrave’s SCOTUS Decisions series explains and contextualizes the landmark cases of the US Supreme Court in the term ending 2024. With a close look at cases involving key issues and debates in American politics and society, SCOTUS 2024 tackles the Court's rulings on ballot access, executive immunity, access to mifepristone, funding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Equal Protection clause and state redistricting, the Securities and Exchange Commission's ability to levy civil penalties, the power of federal agencies to interpret the laws they administer, the the Environmental Protection Agency's ability to reduce air pollution from power plants, and more. Written by notable scholars in political science and law, the chapters present the details of each ruling, its meaning for constitutional debate, and its impact on public policy or partisan politics. Finally, this book analyzes ethics scandals on the Court and charts its shifts in ideology. VIII,162 Seiten, broschiert (Palgrave Macmillan 2025) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
