Texas), respectively. 听Immediately following the rapid-fire primer, students were able to follow up with their own questions.听

She continued, 鈥淥ften, Supreme Court decisions are long and esoteric to read and understand, but listening to professors who helped to litigate or write amicus briefs in these cases and can also explain the cases in a student-friendly way was really special.鈥濃��
