    "title": "Privacy and Precedent: Exploring the Factors Influencing the U.S. Supreme Court’s Departures from Precedent",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "<p>This thesis explores the factors that influence the US Supreme Court&rsquo;s&nbsp;decisions to overturn precedent. I argue that the Court is more likely to depart from&nbsp;precedent in cases relating to the right to privacy due to the dynamic nature of privacy&nbsp;rights and their inherent connection to rapidly evolving technology and societal values.&nbsp;As society grapples with digital surveillance, data collection, and personal freedoms, the&nbsp;question of how the Supreme Court navigates past precedents in the face of new realities&nbsp;becomes increasingly relevant. I find that privacy precedents are more likely to be altered&nbsp;than other subject matter. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the&nbsp;common law system&rsquo;s adaptability in the face of contemporary challenges by examining&nbsp;the Court&rsquo;s decisions to overturn precedents based on subject matter.</p>",
