With each ruling, the Supreme Court of the United States is permanently shaping federal employment law principles. Recent and looming Supreme Court rulings on issues ranging from arbitration and vaccine mandates to employment discrimination based on military service and affirmative action stand to bring significant changes to the workplace. This presentation will examine these and other key employment law decisions from the last few terms with more than just a summary of the holding. The facts of each case, the Court's rationale, the long-run implications and, most important, how the decision will affect the employer community will be analyzed in an interesting and entertaining fashion. This presentation will also discuss Justice Stephen Breyer's decision to retire and how his retirement will likely affect the balance of the Court.
