June is peak season for Supreme Court decisions. It is the final month of the courtâs annual term, and the justices tend to save their biggest decisions for the termâs end.
To prepare you for the next few weeks of news, I asked for help from my colleague Adam Liptak, who covers the Supreme Court. Adam has a fascinating background: He first worked for The Times out of college as a newsroom clerk. After going to law school, he returned as an in-house lawyer representing the newspaper. In 2002, Times editors recruited him to come back to the newsroom as a reporter covering legal affairs.
We can only admire the way that Shakespeare brushes off pandemic shutdowns like crumbs from his doublet. First, a couple of bubonic plagues; then, a round of Covid.
