Steven R. Smith, JD

An exploration of the 2017–2018 Supreme Court session, which included rulings on professional practice issues and social justice matters. Several cases examined issues related to capital punishment and the availability of psychological services. Challenges concerning jury selection and racial bias were addressed. A narrow decision was made involving the conflict between gay rights and religious rights. Twenty-six percent of cases were decided by a 5–4 vote, and only 39% of decisions were unanimous.
