Each year, the Supreme Court of the United States announces new rulings with deep consequences for our lives. This seventh volume in Palgrave's SCOTUS Decisions series explains and contextualizes the landmark cases of the US Supreme Court in the term ending 2024.

Written by notable scholars in political science and law, the chapters in SCOTUS 2024 present the details of each ruling, its meaning for constitutional debate, and its impact on public policy or partisan politics. Finally, SCOTUS 2024 analyzes ethics scandals on the Court and charts its shifts in ideology.
