Law schools left reeling after latest Supreme Court earthquakes : law

Just explain to them that the prevailing judicial philosophy is "now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station!"

(And remember that, your Darth Vader stuffy notwithstanding, the Empire are supposed to be the bad guys here)

Friendly reminder that there's almost no overlap between people in law school/legal academia and those who post on /r/law.

It's not hard to find a fringe believer to give you a quote for your news article crying doom and gloom about SCOTUS, but my understanding the general consensus is that they're making the correct but unpalatable legal rulings, and they're getting away with it because the legislature has been completely dysfunctional for decades.

Roe v. Wade was a foregone conclusion because it was such a bad decision. Trump v. Anderson even got the liberal judges to sign off on it. No one is 100% comfortable with administrative rulemaking from Chevron.

Note that it's Sotomayor who's leading the hysterics. As senior justice among the liberal dissenters, she gets to assign the opinions to herself and writes absolute dreck, eschewing legal reasoning for emotional appeals. It's interesting to see that Jackson's started to write more of her own separate opinions, as has Kagan, because they are both smarter than her and realize that she's undermining their positions.

Most /r/law posters are absolutely . Legal discussion here on is way better.

After overturning the 40-year-old Chevron deference last week, the justices threw law curricula for another major loop on Monday with their earth-shaking ruling on presidential immunity — all this just two years after Roe v. Wade was struck down after 50 years on the books.

so we have two absolute garbage decisions that harmed people for decades, reversed... and one decision that just upholds the concept of a unitary executive branch ... which means the law schools were rubbish teaching rubbish, if this makes their job hard.

>Court makes a ruling

>law professors have to change a question or two on the bar exam

> for lawcel students....

The cornerstone of the common law system (state decisis) is gone.

The cornerstone of admin law - chevron- is gone.

admin law for what, 20 years? It's a reversion to tradition. Isn't law alla bout tradition?

The principle of rule of law ("nobody is above the law") is gone now too, thanks to the immunity ruling.

(the ruling LITERALLY SAYS THE OPPOSITE OF THIS)

Soon the principle that everyone is equal against the law will be gone too (project 2025 is planning to codify anti-POC measures).

What do you call a lawyer at the bottom of the river? A good start

"A liberal is a conservative who has been arrested."
