UPCOMING EVENT

** The Legislative Path to Supreme Court Reform
------------------------------------------------------------

October 25, 2023 | 6:00 p.m. | Boston and Virtual

Fifty-four percent of Americans now have an unfavorable view of the Supreme Court. Life tenure, as it operates today, has raised the stakes of each new Supreme Court nomination, leading to a wide range of undesirable outcomes.

A new publication from the Academy’s bipartisan U.S. Supreme Court Working Group sets out a possible path toward reform. The Case for Supreme Court Term Limits examines how 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices could be enacted without the need for a Constitutional amendment.

Join the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the U.S. Senate and the American Academy of Arts & Sciences for a discussion about the new publication, the possibility of establishing Supreme Court term limits, and the role the U.S. Senate might play in enacting such a reform.
