Long-time friends Professor Emerita Judith Olans Brown and Matthews Distinguished University Professor Wendy E. Parmet discussed recent Supreme Court rulings and the future of the Court over coffee or tea (virtually) on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at 12:00 PM (EDT). Both of these legal powerhouses have taught and written about constitutional law for decades. Brown now resides in Tucson, Arizona, and closely follows the Supreme Court. Parmet is a renowned health law expert and head of Northeastern Law’s Center for Health Policy and Law.
Brown and Parmet may have seemed formidable in class, but this conversation followed a more casual format: two old friends musing (and lamenting) about the harmful role that the Court has come to play in society, the disingenuousness of the Court’s so-called methodologies (such as the manipulation of history, originalism and textualism), court reform (why it is needed, why it won’t happen) and the role of the Court in the upcoming election and beyond.
