The most surprising part of the Supreme Court’s Thursday order enabling the Trump administration to move forward with sending eight immigrants to South Sudan wasn’t the decision. After all, the court had already sided with the government on deportations to third-party countries in late June; Thursday’s order clarified the reach of that opinion, rather than revealing something truly new. Instead, the surprise came from Justice Elena Kagan, who, rather than siding with her liberal colleagues, spotlighted her break from them with a brief concurring opinion. “I voted to deny the Government’s previous stay application in this case, and I continue…
Sometimes, when software is created for the legal profession, legal technology founders assume it’s a one-size-fits-all proposition. Law firms are law firms, right? Wrong. The reality is that business workflows can be very different from one practice area to the next. This variation is all the more significant when a firm focuses on a single area of law. For example, bankruptcy firms are not even remotely similar to personal injury firms. The differences can be stark, ranging from client intake processes and deadlines to client communication preferences and billing processes. Practice areas dictate workflows and can sometimes require bespoke software…
Here’s how to stop sleeping on Sharjah’s food sceneWe won’t be hearing any more Sharjah slander – not in this household.

The Federal Court says the RCMP must hand over soldier-client information to the country’s national security review agency — allowing a long-stalled review into whether the Mounties mishandled the case of a Canadian convicted of plotting ISIS-inspired terror attacks in the U.S. to move ahead.The case centres on a complaint from Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy’s father Osama El Bahnasawy, who alleged the RCMP played a role entrapping his son, now serving a decades-long sentence in a U.S. maximum security prison.The FBI, with help from the RCMP, arrested the then 18-year-old El Bahnasawy at a hotel in New York in May 2016.

Brothers in Law is a recurring series by Professors Akhil and Vikram Amar. For more content from Akhil and Vikram, please see Akhil’s free weekly podcast, “Amarica’s Constitution,” and Vikram’s regular columns on Justia. Every justice takes an oath to support the Constitution itself as the supreme law of the land.

Yet over the centuries, the justices have often failed to root their ruminations in the rich…
