About the Event 

The Supreme Court Preview, hosted by William & Mary Law’s Institute of Bill of Rights Law, is an annual conference that convenes judges, scholars, advocates, and journalists to discuss the Supreme Court’s upcoming term. The Preview will begin with a moot court of a pending Supreme Court case on Friday, September 25th featuring seasoned appellate advocates and a panel of appellate judges and nationally renowned journalists.

Thematic panels will begin on Friday after the moot and will continue into Saturday afternoon. Attendees can expect these panels to cover most major cases before the Court for the 2026-2027 term and ‘recap’ some of the most influential and relevant cases of the past term. The Supreme Court Preview will also provide informational sessions for attendees who are particularly interested in one area of the Court’s actions, including employment law, civil rights litigation, and criminal law.
