Richard Seamon will present “Shining a Light on the U.S. Supreme Court’s Shadow Docket” at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, January 12. 

In recent years, the Supreme Court has made increasing use of its so-called “shadow docket” to address significant issues of constitutional law. This presentation explores that trend, focusing on whether it is something that the public should be concerned about and, if so, why.

Seamon is the Margaret Schimke Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Idaho College of Law. He joined the college in 2004 and has taught courses on constitutional law, among other subjects. He has written a book on the U.S. Supreme Court and, while in legal practice, presented oral argument in 15 cases before the court.
