Happy Friday, and welcome to another roundup of the week’s news about the judiciary. This week, we’re taking a look at a speech given by a federal appellate judge about the history and value of dissenting that was published in the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy’s spring edition. Plus, more than a dozen groups are pushing lawmakers to do more about limiting judge shopping.

As always, please reach out to me at [email protected] with any tips or feedback and follow me on X at @AvalonZoppo.
