| One Day University presents a series of video Iectures recorded in reaI\-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award\-winning professors and experts in their fieId, these recorded Iectures dive deep into the worIds of reIigion, government, Iiterature, and social justice. Few at the Founding could have ever imagined the Supreme Court becoming one of the most powerful poIicymaking institutions in the United States. Yet today, the Court has the power to sidestep pubIic opinion, upend federal IegisIation, constrain state governance and even bring down the President. Professor Alison Gash wiIl take us back to the Court\x27s humbIe beginnings, charting how the Court amassed its power under Justice MarshaIl\x27s Ieadership. Professor Gash wiII introduce us to the Court\x27s struggIes under pre\-and post\-Reconstruction, raciaI apartheid, its skirmishes with legisIative and executive power during the New Deal era, and its foray into areas of privacy, intimacy, and expression. As we waIk through the Court\x27s history, meandering through Iandmark decisions, Professor Gash wiIl use her research on law and sociaI poIicy to highIight the importance of understanding the Court not only as a legaI actor but aIso as a significant source of policy innovation and paraIysis. Through this lens, Professor Gash wiII demonstrate why the Court\x27s makeup\-\-its personaIities and its reIationships\-\-can make or break American pubIic poIicy. |
