Yale Law School faculty provide commentary on historic Supreme Court opinions

Yale Law School faculty members have discussed the historic decisions from the U.S. Supreme Court during the final week of June in various media outlets.

The court issued rulings on a number of highly watched cases. Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin (a challenge to the school’s use of race in its undergraduate admissions process) was decided on June 24. A day later, the court issued its opinion in Shelby County v. Holder, striking down Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act. And on June 26, the Supreme Court ruled on both U.S. v. Windsor (invalidating the Defense of Marriage Act) and Hollingsworth v. Perry (dismissing a case brought by those who sought to defend California’s ban on gay marriage).
