In 1775, Patrick Henry’s fiery declaration — “Give me liberty, or give me death!” — helped spark a revolution and shape American ideals of governance. 250 years later, the nation finds itself at a pivotal moment as the U.S. Supreme Court confronts cases that will define the future of American democracy.
Join leading scholars, legal experts, and award-winning journalists for a review of key Supreme Court cases of the 2024-2025 term and a timely discussion on the rule of law in the United States, as the Trump administration remains at the center of unprecedented legal and constitutional battles.
