Deadlocked: How America Shaped the Supreme Court
Description
Join us for a conversation on the US Supreme Court with Dawn Porter, Director of the new Showtime series "Deadlocked: How America Shaped the Supreme Court." She will be joined by Professor of Practice at Harvard Law School Alan Jenkins, who is featured in the series. "Deadlocked" focuses on the modern history of the Supreme Court - the people, decisions, and confirmation battles of recent decades, the implications of those changes on public policy in the United States, and trust in the court itself. Former North Carolina Supreme Court Chief Justice and Fall 2023 Institute of Politics Resident Fellow Cheri Beasley will moderate.
After the discussion, we invite you to stay for an advance screening of the first episode of “Deadlocked.” Complimentary popcorn and refreshments will be provided.
This event is co-sponsored by the Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics and Public Policy.
