Jurist News has published a new article by William G. Ross, Cumberland School of Law's Albert P. Brewer Professor of Law and Ethics, in which he offers an opinion on the influence of the U.S. Supreme Court on the 2024 election.

In the commentary, he says, "The U.S. Supreme Court in some ways is a more prominent issue in this year’s election than it has been in most previous elections, although its influence on voters is uncertain. Even though judicial issues might not sway many votes, every vote is important in a race which polls indicate is very tight. Since judicial appointments have widespread and long-lasting effect, the Court should be a more important issue than it is."

Ross is a nationally recognized expert on constitutional law and American legal history, among other legal topics.
