Happy Friday from Avalon and Brad, and welcome to another roundup of the week’s news about the judiciary. Brad got a tip about a new hire at the DC Circuit: an ASL translator. He spoke with Circuit Judge Wilkins about their incoming clerk and the importance of diversifying the clerk’s office. Plus, Avalon takes a look at a Fourth Circuit decision that highlighted a long-standing debate over the use of outside research in judicial opinions.
As always, please reach out to us at [email protected] or [email protected] with any tips or feedback. Follow us on Twitter at @AvalonZoppo and @BradKutner.
