March 27: Cases from the Supreme Court
Dr. Maule presents a timely and insightful examination of key cases before the United States Supreme Court during
the 2025–2026 term. Using legal precedent and doctrinal analysis, the session explores how upcoming decisions may influence constitutional interpretation and public policy. Among the featured cases is Chiles v. Salazar, addressing  whether Colorado’s ban on “conversion therapy” violates the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment. Additional cases will be discussed to illuminate themes in judicial reasoning, constitutional law, and the ongoing balance between individual rights and governmental authority.
