On Wednesday, a group of UCI Law faculty previewed the 2018-19 U.S. Supreme Court term to more than a hundred students.
Faculty presented the specifics and potential ramifications of several cases, including Weyerhaeuser Company v. U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service; Obduskey v. McCarthy & Holthus LLP; Nielsen v.
