This discussion with Jonathan Adler assesses the Roberts Court on “business” law cases. Is it true, as we’ve been told by Jeffrey Rosen, among others, that this Court is uniquely favorable to corporations, big business, and profits and dismissive of plaintiffs and the All-American little guy? Adler is the editor of the impressive new volume Business and the Roberts Court, which provides answers to this question in essays ranging from Environmental, Securities, and Antitrust cases to Citizens United. And it’s our good fortune to hear him discuss the Roberts Court and its record on business and the law.
