The Roberts Court has issued a shadow docket ruling in USPS v. California, rejecting the Trump regime’s request for a stay of lower court judges’ preliminary injunctions prohibiting USPS from implementing a Final Rule meant to take over vote-from-home (absentee/mail voting). 1/ #LawFedi

25 Years of Mass Surveillance is Enough

RE: https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/117270402839653485

As my question to Matt indicates, the Roberts Court is increasingly in a pickle. Every lower court that has ruled on the USPS Rule has now resoundingly decided it is likely unlawful and issued or upheld prelim injunctions against its implementation. 1/ #Lawfedi

The D.C. District Court, which had previously rejected challenges to Trump/USPS effort to take over vote-from-home (“mail-in” voting) as unripe, has now joined the Mass. District Court and 1st Circuit Court of Appeals, and decided Trump/USPS are acting unlawfully and unconstitutionally. 1/ #LawFedi

One of the grounds for the plaintiff's new trial motion was that opposing counsel had cited ... (cont.)

There is a new toolkit

> to help law schools, law firms and other organisations design and develop effective partnerships and initiatives that widen access to the solicitors' profession for people from underrepresented backgrounds.

I don't know how many, if any, people who'd like to be a solicitor in England and Wales are in the fediverse, but if you are one of them, I'm always happy to find time to have a chat (audio or video, as you wish) about my experience, talk about "commercial awareness" etc.

(I can't offer placements, work experience/shadowing, and the like.)
