Description

The confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court just days before an election has sparked calls from Democrats for serious changes to the high court. What might those reforms look like? Is it fair to call them “court packing?” On this week’s show, Law360’s Supreme Court reporter Jimmy Hoover joins us to break it all down, from the contentious backstory to a range of possible proposals. Also on this week’s show: A federal judge says government lawyers can’t represent President Trump in a private defamation suit; a North Carolina judge issues a first-ever ruling on how business insurance covers COVID-19; and the bizarre story of a BigLaw attorney who allegedly went on a bank robbery spree in Florida.
