Empirical SCOTUS is a recurring series by Adam Feldman that looks at Supreme Court data, primarily in the form of opinions and oral arguments, to provide insights into the justices’ decision making and what we can expect from the court in the future. By the middle of January of this term, the Supreme Court had issued seven decisions in argued cases. For casual observers, this might seem unremarkable. But anyone tracking the court’s recent patterns knows that something unusual is happening: the 2025-26 term represents a striking departure from a recent trend that had seen early decisions nearly vanish from the court’s calendar.…
Most lawyers want to use artificial intelligence more effectively, but many hold back. The concerns are familiar: malpractice exposure, hallucinations, confidentiality breaches and the fear of relying on a tool that does not feel fully trustworthy. In my work coaching attorneys across practice areas, I have noticed the same pattern. The lawyers who are most frustrated with AI treat it like a search engine.

When the FBI executed a warrant on Wednesday to seize records from the 2020 presidential vote in Fulton County, Georgia, it marked both an extraordinary event in the history of American elections and a significant escalation in President Donald Trump’s breaking of democratic norms, several legal experts said. Trump has long claimed, without evidence, that the 2020 election was stolen from him and blamed Georgia, in particular, for his loss to Joe Biden. After the election, he famously made a call pressuring the secretary of state to “find” him enough votes to win. About a week ago, in a speech…

Last month, the Supreme Court held oral argument on two landmark anti-discrimination cases: Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J. The states in these cases – Idaho and West Virginia – passed laws categorically banning trans girls from playing on girls’ sports teams. Two trans girls who underwent gender-affirming medical treatments while young challenged the laws as a violation of the equal protection clause and Title IX, which prohibits discrimination “on the basis of sex” in “any…

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey wants to eliminate the 15-year deadline to prosecute rape in cases where there’s a DNA match. Current Massachusetts law bars rape prosecutions in older cases, even when DNA testing has identified a suspect. An investigation last year by WBUR and ProPublica found that nearly all other states allow more time to charge rapes or similar assaults of adults than Massachusetts. Many of those 47 states extended their deadlines in recent decades as DNA technology helped solve old cases and as evidence mounted that police had failed to fully investigate rapes. The WBUR-ProPublica investigation followed the story…
