Welcome to Supreme Court Brief. The justices wrap up the term’s oral arguments this week—and what a final week! Each of the three argument days presents at least one closely watched challenge. We take a look at the first one up this morning—Lucia v. SEC—which has implications for the thousands of administrative law judges across the federal government. Rod Rosenstein is expected to make his Supreme Court debut, and the justices will issue orders today. We could get decisions tomorrow—stay tuned. Thanks for reading, and we’ll be back on Tuesday. We welcome feedback at [email protected] and [email protected].
