In Episode 213 of SCOTUS 101, Elizabeth Slattery & Tiffany Bates talk about SCOTUS’s final orders of 2017 (the justices will hear a case dealing with shackling criminal defendants but won’t hear cases on sexual orientation discrimination or wife-swapping). They’re joined by Georgia Court of Appeals Chief Judge Stephen Dillard. They also play Supreme Trivia – Winter Holiday Edition.
