SCOTUS 2025

Each year, the Supreme Court of the United States announces new rulings with deep consequences for our lives. This eighth volume in Palgrave's SCOTUS Decisions series explains and contextualizes the landmark cases of the US Supreme Court in the term ending 2025. With a close look at cases involving key issues and debates in American politics and society, SCOTUS 2025 tackles the Court's rulings on deportations of migrants under the Alien Enemies Act, whether lower-court judges have the authority to issue "universal injunctions," the constitutionality of the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, the right of parents to opt out of lessons they feel violate their free exercise of religion, and more. Written by leading scholars in political science and law, SCOTUS 2025 presents the details of each ruling, its meaning for constitutional debate, and its impact on public policy or partisan politics. Additionally, the book examines the question of whether the United States is in a state of constitutional crisis, relations between the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts, and the expansion in the reliance on the "shadow docket" in the 2025 term.

Offers a big-picture overview of the key cases of the Supreme Court's 2025 term Explains each ruling accessibly for students, scholars, and general readers without a background in constitutional law Charts major ideological developments of the Court
