In the season 2 finale we re-argue the Supreme Court case McCleskey v. Kemp.

WM, a Black man, was sentenced to death for murder. On appeal, he submitted statistical evidence to show that the race of the victim (and, to a lesser extent, of the defendant) is associated with whether the defendant gets sentenced to death or not.

The question before the court: does statistical evidence of racial disparities in a state’s capital sentencing system prove racism? Does the evidence make that system unconstitutional under the 8th and 14th amendments?

In this episode we re-argue the Supreme Court case Hazelwood School District v. Kuhlmeier.

High school students wrote and edited articles as the staff for their school newspaper. One day, they found that their articles about divorce and teen pregnancy had been removed from their newest issue. The principal cut them because he thought they were “inappropriate.” That’s a violation of the First Amendment, right?

In this special episode we bring you the first ever edition of Objection! The Relitigated Game Show.

3 of our justices, Sarah, Adam, and Preston, compete for points to see who will be crowned the official Chief Justice of Relitigated and earn the commemorative gavel. To make things spicy, contestants can object when they believe a colleague is wrong and wager points to get either a boost or a setback. With 6 rounds of questions on the most recent Supreme Court term, and some of the, honestly, most unfair questions ever asked in a multiple-choice trivia game, the contestants have their work cut out for them.

Who will be victorious and crowned the official Chief Justice of Relitigated?
