Hello Rights and Liberties Course Members! It's week 3 and so we have now moved into discussing the operating methods of the Supreme Court--the processes for justice selection, the processes for case selection, the processes for decision-making, and all the steps in between. Some critical concepts for this week: standing, ripeness, mootness, and justiciability. We're going to read through a few cases that relate to these topics and try to better know what is meant by standing and mootness. And just for fun, we'll also cover a bit on what is known as the shadow docket. As you work through the cases in particular, let me know what questions or concerns come up for you!
