Webinar: The Changing Courts

With the midterms just weeks away, both parties are gearing up for an election that might propel Democrats to a majority in one or both chambers—or might not.

In today's polarized political environment, over half of voters report being more energized now than in past elections, and pundits' predictions have fluctuated widely. Democrats currently outdo Republicans in generic polling, and Trump's approval ratings remain low, but will these factors hold?

The Changing Courts
December 13th | 11 a.m. EST

America’s judicial system is at a unique point in its history. Since 2010, the Supreme Court has been split into two partisan blocs: all Democratic appointees are liberal, while all Republicans are conservative. Over the last three decades, the ideological gap between these two groups has been widening, and Americans’ reported confidence in the Supreme Court has been declining.

What do these trends tell us about the present and what could happen in the future? This National Journal webinar dives into the following questions:

How has the Supreme Court, and lower courts, changed in recent decades?
How has Donald Trump shaped America’s federal courts?
Which cases are on the court’s docket already—and which issues might be soon?

Join National Journal Presentation Center analysts for an in-depth discussion on America’s shifting federal courts.
