Summary

We announce an exciting new partnership with SCOTUSblog and introduce the show to new listeners.

NJ Transit Corporation, a sovereign immunity decision in which the Court may, or may not, have paid attention to Will's amicus brief.

be part of the Scotus Blog ecosystem.

1:07.1

The podcast will be on the Scotus blog website and maybe, you know maybe in some other channels and we'll be in conversations with the other folks in that universe, which include advisory opinions and Amarica's constitution.
