With the passing of Justice David Souter, the legal establishment has lost one of its most honored members.  In this and our next episode, we pay tribute to the man and his work with the help of an amazing roster of his former clerks, friends, and colleagues.  We begin with Judge Kevin Newsom from the US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, and the Dean of the Yale Law School, Heather Gerken, who share their experience working closely with the Justice on the Supreme Court, as well as his role in their lives that did and does inspire them.  Meanwhile, Akhil, who considered the Justice a good friend and role model, offers an in-depth look at various aspects of the Justice, including why a Justice who disagreed with Akhil on method and, in many cases, substance, nevertheless is regarded by him as one of the great Justices in American history.  In our next episode we will have more guests whom we will reveal in the discussion during this episode.  CLE credit is available for lawyers and judges from podcast.njsba.com.

Andrew and Mary host this week's episode in front of a live audience at Princeton University, starting with the latest in the Kilmar Abrego Garcia case where last Tuesday, Maryland district judge Paula Xinis ordered the Trump administration to provide among other things, “butts in seats” to explain their efforts to get him back. Then they describe what led up to the Supreme Court's early Saturday decision temporarily blocking the deportation of more Venezuelan migrants, after a flurry of back and forth between the Solicitor General and the ACLU. And being at Andrew's alma mater, he and Mary hold up the absolute necessity of academic freedom and independence in the wake of Trump's attempts to defund universities who do not comply with his demands. Last up, they touch on the Supreme Court granting argument in the birthright citizenship cases- not on the merits, but on whether a nationwide injunction is appropriate in this instance.Further reading: HERE is Judge Harvie Wilkinson's sharply worded opinion, writing for a 3-judge panel in the US Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, rejecting the Trump administrations effort to stop a lower court's order that the government facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return.Want to listen to this show without ads?

Google Business had a reverficiation bug that caused chaos for a few days that appears to be fixed. The White House announced it was going to order a dramatic downsizing of the department of Education and a French scientist was denied entry to the US after messages critical of Trump were found on his phone, which has terrifying implications for the future of American education and training. The US Court of Appeals rejected copyright protection for AI generated works without a human author while Spain announced it would impose massive fines for not labeling AI generated content as such.

Today InPerspective with Dr. Harry Reeder March 13, 2025

A fight over plans for a privately owned nuclear waste storage facility in Texas seemed to divide the US Supreme Court as the justices wrestled with a federal agency's regulatory authority and who can challenge it. Cases and Controversies hosts Greg Stohr and Lydia Wheeler unpack Wednesday's arguments in the dispute over a Nuclear Regulatory Commission license that would have moved as much as 40,000 tons of spent nuclear fuel to a privately owned facility. The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled the agency didn't have the authority to grant the license after Texas and neighboring landowners challenged it in court. It's unclear if the court will affirm that ruling. A decision is due by the end of June or early July. The hosts also chat about the most significant ruling to come from the Supreme Court so far in litigation against actions President Donald Trump has taken since returning to office. A divided court rejected his request to toss out a district court order that forced him to pay $2 billion in federal foreign aid. Do you have feedback on this episode of Cases & Controversies?

The US Supreme Court hears argument March 4 in a case over gun industry protections from lawsuits. The dispute involving Mexico and Smith & Wesson Brands Inc. centers on whether exceptions to the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act open manufacturers to court challenges. Mexico alleges gunmakers intentionally trade with suppliers for drug cartels and the law allows suits when industry knowingly violates firearms laws in a way that causes injury. Industry says it's shielded, but the Boston-based US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit has said not so fast. Cases and Controversies discusses the case with Georgia State law professor Timothy Lytton. He's filed a brief on behalf of neither party advocating for one of the law's exceptions opening gunmakers to potential liability.

Today, I'm joined by Dr. Justin Collings to discuss his new book, Divine Law, just out from the Maxwell Institute as part of its Themes in the Doctrine and Covenants series. This volume is one of seven and will be featuring interviews with each of the authors over the next few months. Justin Collings is the academic vice president of Brigham Young University and a distinguished scholar in his own right. He graduated from BYU and earned a law degree and a PhD in history from Yale, and clerked on the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In addition to his administrative duties, he remains a professor of law at BYU's J. Reuben Clark Law School, where he authored two books on constitutional law and history from Oxford University Press. Justin and his wife Lia live in Orem, Utah. And as you'll hear in our conversation, are the proud parents of eight children. As Justin admits, the topic of divine law may not strike you as immediately compelling. It might even spark some deep-seated fear or dread. But I think you'll find that he brings this book to life with careful thinking, real life examples, and most of all, a bedrock conviction grounded in the revelations that God is loving, merciful, and full of grace. Divine law and divine love in this way of looking at things are one and the same. Justin was a good sport to field some tough questions about punishment versus consequences and a threat versus a warning. But if you're expecting dry legalese, you'll be glad to find that Justin is a lively and lyrical writer and his book is studded with poetry. In fact, our discussion of poetry's relationship to scripture and its role in a spiritual life is one of my favorite parts of the interview. I think you'll enjoy it too. Purchase at the links below.https://a.co/d/fQPtRdBhttps://www.deseretbook.com/product/P6075136.html

The US Supreme Court will hear arguments in a reverse discrimination case when the justices return to the bench at the end of the month.  A heterosexual woman is asking the court to revive her lawsuit against the Ohio Department of Youth Services where she's worked since 2004 after the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit said she hadn't shown the "background circumstances" necessary to take her case to trial. The court didn't just ask for a little bit more evidence, it asked for a lot more, said Xiao Wang, director of the University of Virginia's Supreme Court Litigation Clinic, who's representing Marlean Ames in her case. Wang and co-counsel Edward Gilbert join Cases and Controversies to discuss the case and what's at stake. Hosts Greg Stohr and Lydia Wheeler also chat about Trump's impending trade war and look at the legal doctrine that could stand in the way of his planned tariffs on China, Mexico, and Canada.  Hosts: Lydia Wheeler and Greg Stohr Produce: Mo Barrow Do you have feedback on this episode of Cases & Controversies, Give us a call and leave a voicemail at 703-341-3690.

On our episode about fairness — "Fairness with Vella Lovell and Meredith Holzman" — three kids (Bodhi, Aubrey, and Will) helped two arguing Qook-a-lackas through a process of “qook-a-lation.” They listened to both sides of the argument, asked some questions, and then shared some ideas to help the Qook-a-lackas find a fair solution.Today, Little Kids, Big Hearts is thrilled to share an interview diving into fairness with someone who knows A LOT about qook-a-lation: Judge Gabriel P. Sanchez, who has served as a United States circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit since 2022.Our host, Todd Loyd chats with Judge Sanchez about what fairness is and moments in his life when he's learned about fairness. He shares tips for little kids with big hearts who want to follow in his footsteps and become real-life judges — and also tips on how we can bring more fairness to our classrooms and playgrounds today. Judge Sanchez was nominated by President Biden and confirmed by the Senate in 2022 — an exciting first for our podcast! He's based in San Francisco, but hears cases across California, Arizona, Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. Judge Sanchez has had a remarkable career advocating for criminal justice reform, public safety, and civil rights, while also serving as a pro bono supporter of farm workers' rights. 

Supreme Court justices seemed to agree courts should look at the totality of circumstances when analyzing whether a police officer's use of deadly force was reasonable. During arguments Wednesday, the US Supreme Court appeared ready to rule the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit had used the wrong test when it considered the claims of a mother who argues a Texas police officer unjustly shot and killed her son during a traffic stop in 2016. Cases and Controversies hosts Kimberly Robinson and Lydia Wheeler discuss the arguments in that dispute over the officer's use of deadly force and the likelihood of a future Supreme Court case over President Donald Trump's executive order on birthright citizenship. The order, which deems denies automatic citizenship to children born of immigrants in the US, was temporarily blocked by a federal judge on Thursday.

Several justices on the Supreme Court seemed eager this week to debate the constitutionality of a Texas law that requires porn sites to verify the age of users to keep kids from viewing obscene content online. But the court was only asked in the case argued Wednesday to answer whether the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit applied the correct standard when assessing whether the law violated the free speech rights of adults. “I don't know if there is going to be sufficient alignment on how to get to the answers here,” said Mark Brennan, who works with a variety of companies in the online space as a partner at Hogan Lovells. Brennan joins “Cases and Controversies” hosts Kimberly Robinson and Lydia Wheeler to discuss Wednesday's argument. They also break down the court's decisions earlier this week in disputes over fancy dog food and federal overtime rules.

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One — The FBI is asking for anyone who may have passed by or saw the New Orleans terror suspect to contact authorities. The agency released surveillance images showing Shamsud-Din Jabbar near Bourbon Street more than an hour before the attack that killed at least 14 people. The images show Jabbar and a cooler that contained an improvised explosive device that was placed on the street.   Two ---- Two people are dead and at least 18 more are injured after a plane crashed into a warehouse in Fullerton, California.  The plane reportedly crashed into the building around 2 p.m. Thursday.  Of the 18 people injured, ten were taken to a hospital and eight were treated at the scene.    And number three — A U.S. Court of Appeals has struck down the FCC's “net neutrality” rules governing internet service providers. Democrats considered the reinstatement of net neutrality as a major accomplishment under the Biden administration. Net neutrality was adopted by the FCC under the Obama administration, reversed under Trump (when we were told people would die if the policy were removed) then reinstated under President Joe Biden. No one perished.  

Without much fanfare, Congress passes an omnibus outdoor package that increases public range access.  Plus more lawfare from the antis, and parsing out some important "statistics."

Nick Clegg is leaving Meta, the US Court of Appeals ruled against an effort to restore net neutrality, and Apple agreed to settle a 2019 Siri privacy lawsuit for $95 million. It's Friday, January 3rd and this is Engadget News. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The US Supreme Court announced on Wednesday it would consider TikTok's challenge to legislation that could force the popular social media platform to be sold to a US company by Jan 19 or face a nationwide ban.12月18日，美国联邦最高法院宣布将考虑TikTok对“不卖就禁”法案的抗议。该法案要求TikTok这款热门社交媒体平台于1月19日前出售给一家美国公司，否则这款应用程序将在美国被禁用。The announcement came two days after TikTok filed a petition with the nation's highest court. At the center of the challenge is the legislation called the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act.这一宣布是在TikTok向美国联邦最高法院提交诉讼请求两天后作出的决定。此次抗议聚焦于国会今年3月通过的《保护美国人免受外国对手控制的应用程序侵害法》。Passed by Congress and signed into law by US President Joe Biden in April, the act requires that TikTok's Chinese parent company, Byte-Dance, divest its ownership within 270 days or face a ban in the US market, where the platform has 170 million users.该法案于今年4月由美国国会通过并经美国总统乔·拜登签署成为法律，要求TikTok中国母公司字节跳动在270天内放弃所有权，否则禁止其在美运行，而TikTok在美国拥有1.7亿用户。The law would prohibit the TikTok app from being used on both Google's and Apple's app stores and require web-hosting services to stop supporting the platform or face substantial financial consequences.该法律将禁止谷歌和苹果的应用商店提供TikTok下载使用，并要求互联网托管服务停止支持该平台，否则将面临巨额罚款。TikTok has insisted that the Justice Department's allegations are unfounded. The company has denied accusations that it was sharing user data with Chinese authorities or serving as a conduit for "Chinese propaganda".TikTok坚称美国司法部的指控毫无根据。该公司否认了有关其与中国政府共享用户数据或充当“中国宣传”渠道的指控。"The bigger issue here is that social media platforms are manipulating users and abusing personal information", and all of them are doing it no matter where they are from, said Ker Gibbs, an executive in residence with the China Business Studies Initiative at the University of San Francisco. "All the focus is on China, but Congress really should be looking at all the platforms that Americans are using," he told China Daily.旧金山大学中国企业管理研究所驻校高管克尔·吉布斯向《中国日报》表示：“更大的问题是社交媒体平台操纵用户并滥用个人信息。所有社交平台都在这么做，无论它们来自哪里。现在的焦点都在中国身上，但国会真正应该审视的是所有美国人正在使用的平台。”"There's a political case to make because so many small businesses are making money on TikTok, and they will be sorry to see it banned from the US," Gibbs said.吉布斯说：“从政治角度来看是有道理的，因为有很多小商户都在TikTok上赚钱，一旦它在美国被禁，这些小商户会非常遗憾。”In May, TikTok sued the US government to block the controversial law. The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld the law earlier this month, finding the government's national security arguments legitimate.TikTok于5月起诉美国政府，要求阻止这项备受争议的法案。但在本月早些时候，哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院维持了这一法律，认为美国政府关于国家安全的论点是合理的。In response to the ruling, TikTok said that the law "was conceived and pushed through based upon inaccurate, flawed and hypothetical information, resulting in outright censorship of the American people".针对这一裁决，TikTok回应称，该法律“是基于不准确、有缺陷和假设的信息而构思并推动实施的，导致了对美国人民的彻底审查”。"The TikTok ban, unless stopped, will silence the voices of over 170 million Americans here in the US and around the world on Jan 19,2025," the company said.该公司表示：“除非TikTok禁令被暂停，否则超过1.7亿美国人将于2025年1月19日被迫沉默。”The platform's legal challenge has garnered significant support from several civil rights organizations, who have voiced strong concerns over the constitutional implications of the potential ban.TikTok对该法律的抗议得到了一些美国民权组织的大力支持，他们对这项可能生效的禁令带来的宪法影响表示强烈担忧。A coalition, including the American Civil Liberties Union, or ACLU, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, or EFF, and the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University filed an amicus brief on Tuesday, urging the Supreme Court to block the enforcement of the law.包括美国公民自由联盟（简称ACLU）、电子前沿基金会（简称EFF）和哥伦比亚大学骑士第一修正案研究所在内的联盟于12月17日提交了一份法庭之友书状，敦促美国联邦最高法院阻止该法律的执行。Patrick Toomey of the ACLU's National Security Project called the law "mass censorship" and stressed that the US Constitution "imposes an extraordinarily high bar" on such censorship.ACLU国家安全项目的帕特里克·图米称该法律为“大规模审查”，并强调美国宪法对这类审查“设置了极高的门槛”。"The government should not be able to restrict speech, especially to the extent here, based on guessing about the mere possibility of uncertain future harm," said David Greene, civil liberties director at EFF, in a statement.EFF公民自由事务主管大卫·格林在一份声明中说：“政府不应基于对未来不确定危害的猜测而限制言论，尤其是达到这种程度的限制。”Negative consequences负面后果John Wihbey, an associate professor of media innovation and technology at Northeastern University, warned about negative consequences for US companies operating abroad, expressing concern over establishing a problematic global precedent.美国东北大学媒体创新与技术副教授约翰·维贝警告称这将对在海外运营的美国公司产生负面影响，并担忧这可能会树立一个有问题的全球先例。"My overall take is that there are going to be second- and third-order consequences from this we can't fully anticipate," he told the university's news outlet Northeastern Global News on Dec 6. "I think that's going to be really unfortunate," he added. "I'm worried about the precedent of it as a cascading norm around the world."12月6日，他告诉该校新闻机构《东北全球新闻》：“我的总体看法是，这将带来我们无法完全预见的二级和三级后果。我认为这将非常不幸。我担心这会成为世界各地普遍效仿的先例。”The law is set to take effect the day before the presidential inauguration on Jan 20. President-elect Donald Trump attempted to ban TikTok but failed in 2020 during his first term. He changed his stance by pledging to "save TikTok" during his campaign. Trump expressed having "a warm spot" for TikTok at a news conference on Monday. Then he met with TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Florida.该法律定于1月20日总统就职典礼前一天生效。当选总统唐纳德·特朗普在2020年第一任期内曾试图内禁止TikTok，但未能成功。他在竞选期间改变了立场，承诺要“拯救TikTok”。特朗普在12月16日的新闻发布会上表示，他对TikTok“颇有好感”。随后，他在佛罗里达州的马阿拉歌庄园会见了TikTok首席执行官周受资。The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on Jan 10 from TikTok and government attorneys and representatives of app users challenging the ban.美国联邦最高法院将于1月10日听取TikTok、政府律师以及抗议禁令的应用用户代表的口头辩论。The court's swift acceptance of the case signals its recognition of the case's importance. As the final stop for a court case, the Supreme Court typically selects cases involving crucial constitutional questions or those that affect the entire nation.最高法院对此案的迅速受理表明其认为此案关系重大。作为法庭案件的最终裁决机构，最高法院通常只处理涉及关键宪法问题或影响全国的案件。The high court agrees to hear only about 80 cases each year from 7,000 to 8,000 petitions it receives, and it rules on only 1 percent of requests, according to The Pew Charitable Trusts.据皮尤慈善信托基金会称，在每年收到的7000至8000份份请愿中，最高法院只选择审理60至70起案件，并且只对其中1%的案件作出裁决。divestv.卖掉，出售（企业或其中一部分）

A case testing the federal government's ability to regulate potentially harmful tobacco products will kick off arguments at the US Supreme Court in December. The Biden Administration is fighting to keep off the market new liquids for e-cigarettes sold under flavors like "Blackberry Lemonade" and "Killer Kustard Blueberry" that can attract kids in its appeal of a US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit decision to set aside the Food and Drug Administration's orders denying their approval. Typically, the court doesn't agree to hear a case "to pat the lower court on the head and say, 'Really good job,'" said Carter Phillips, a partner at Sidley Austin who's argued 90 cases before the justices. But, he said, "this is a court that is much more skeptical of agency decision-making than the court has ever been, at least in the time that I've been practicing before it." Phillips joins “Cases and Controversies” hosts Greg Stohr and Lydia Wheeler to talk about the case and why his client, the nonprofit Global Action to End Smoking Inc., is supporting neither side in this dispute,.

Matt is a University of Michigan Law School Graduate and currently works as the Chief Financial Officer at the Legal Accountability Project and as a Judicial Law Clerk at the US Court of Appeals. In this episode, Matt takes us on a gripping ride through his evolution from military veteran to law student, sharing unforgettable stories that span the battlefield and the classroom.We kick things off not in law school but in the skies, tracing Matt's career in the Air Force and his transition into the military, including a deployment to Afghanistan. His vivid recounting of a near-death experience—taking enemy fire, leaping from a helicopter, and tearing ligaments—captures both the chaos and sacrifice of his service. But it wasn't just combat that shaped Matt's future. A traumatic encounter with a platoon sergeant would plant the first seeds of his interest in law.From there, Matt honed a military-grade decision-making framework: meticulous planning, discipline, and adaptability. He carried these principles into civilian life, blazing through his undergraduate degree at Indiana University in just two years. His relentless thirst for knowledge and new challenges eventually led him to the University of Michigan Law School, where his first year tested him in ways both stressful and bittersweet.Throughout law school, Matt leaned on his military training—planning months in advance, minimizing distractions, and accepting the unpredictability of life. His discipline and focus paid off through a series of clerkships, internships, and trailblazing work with ChatGPT. Matt was among the first to integrate AI tools into his clerkship, turbocharging his productivity and offering a glimpse into the future of the legal profession.Now, as the Director and CFO of the Legal Accountability Project—a brainchild of former guest Aliza Shatzman—Matt continues to push boundaries, blending legal expertise with forward-thinking leadership.This conversation is packed with hard-earned wisdom, from battlefield grit to legal innovation. If there were a podcast hall of fame, this episode would be an instant inductee.

Have you ever wondered why defamation cases are so challenging to win in the United States? We take a look at this complex area of law, prompted by a question from Vladimir, a law student in Croatia. Vladimir's curiosity about the comparative strength of defamation laws between the USA and other countries sets the stage for an enlightening discussion on the subjectDefamation, which encompasses both libel and slander, is a tort that allows individuals to sue for reputational harm caused by false statements. However, the elements required to prove defamation in the United States are stringent. The plaintiff must demonstrate that the defendant made a false statement of fact about them, that this statement was made to a third party, and that the plaintiff's reputation suffered as a result. These elements are deeply rooted in common law and have evolved through various statutes and landmark cases.One of the most significant factors influencing defamation cases in the USA is the First Amendment, which fiercely protects freedom of speech and freedom of the press. This constitutional backbone makes it particularly difficult to succeed in defamation lawsuits, especially against publications. The landmark case of New York Times vs. Sullivan further complicated matters by establishing that a plaintiff must prove 'actual malice' to win a defamation suit against a news organization. This means that the plaintiff must show that the publication knew the statement was false or acted with reckless disregard for the truth.Our discussion also touches on the challenges lawyers face when taking on defamation cases. These cases are notoriously hard to win, often requiring significant Time and financial investment with no guarantee of success. As a result, many lawyers are hesitant to take them on, and plaintiffs may struggle to find representation.Despite these challenges, understanding the intricacies of defamation law is crucial for anyone interested in legal studies or the protection of free speech. By examining the elements of defamation, the impact of the First Amendment, and the precedent set by New York Times vs. Sullivan, we gain a clearer picture of why defamation cases are so complex in the United States.Got a question you want answered on the podcast?

Welcome to Supreme Court Opinions. In this episode, you'll hear the Court's opinion in Lindke v Freed. In this case, the court considered this issue: When does a public official's social media activity constitute state action subject to the First Amendment? The case was decided on March 15, 2024. The Supreme Court held that a public official who prevents someone from commenting on the official's social-media page engages in state action under 42 U-S-C § 1983 only if the official both (1) possessed actual authority to speak on the State's behalf on a particular matter, and (2) purported to exercise that authority when speaking in the relevant social-media posts. Justice Amy Coney Barrett authored the unanimous opinion of the Court. Section 1983 provides a cause of action against a person “who, under color of any statute, ordinance, regulation, custom, or usage, of any State” deprives someone of a federal constitutional or statutory right. Thus, to establish a claim under § 1983, a plaintiff must show actions attributable to a state, not those of a private person. Sometimes, state action is clear, but other times, the line between private conduct and state action is more difficult to draw. State officials retain their own First Amendment rights to speak about their jobs as private citizens. To determine whether an official was acting in an official capacity or as a private citizen on social media, courts must look at factors like whether the account was designated as personal or official, whether individual posts expressly invoked the official's state authority, and the immediate legal effect of the posts. Additional contextual factors like the official's use of government staff to make posts may also be relevant in unclear cases. Because the U-S Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit applied a different test, the Court vacated its judgment and remanded the case.

On November 2, 1984, fifty-two-year-old Velma Barfield was executed by lethal injection at North Carolina's Central Prison, bringing an end to years of legal appeals and emotional debates over the death penalty and how, when, and to whom it gets applied. For six years, Barfield had sat on death row following her conviction for the poisoning murder of her boyfriend Stewart Taylor in 1976; however, during her trial she confessed to killing at least four other people.Velma Barfield's trial came at a time in the United States when Americans were just beginning to grapple with the concept of a serial killer, and the idea that a woman could commit such heinous acts seemed entirely inconceivable. Although woman had been sentenced to death for murder before in the US, none had confessed to methodically killing multiple people in such a callous way and for such a trivial reason. The debate only became more complicated following her death sentence, an already complicated subject among Americans that became exponentially so in 1984, when Barfield's case and personal story became a major talking point for politicians running for office around the state.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for Research!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1984.
