"Jackson And Kavanaugh Go Head To Head On The Shadow Docket: Special treatment or "short memories"? The justices debated whether the shadow docket receives preferential procedural treatment compared to regular docket cases, with disagreement over whether prior precedents were being overlooked or mischaracterized in current applications."
"Rutgers Law Sued Over Firing Former Dean: Alleging a discriminatory firing, he wants his job back and punitive damages. The former dean initiated legal action claiming the termination violated discrimination protections and sought both reinstatement to his position and monetary compensation for damages incurred."
"Is Two Too Little?: Only two federal law clerks filed complaints under the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act. The minimal number of complaints raises concerns about whether the complaint mechanism is adequately accessible, understood, or utilized by federal law clerks experiencing workplace issues."
Three significant legal developments emerged: First, Justices Jackson and Kavanaugh disagreed on shadow docket practices, with one arguing special treatment exists while the other claimed short memories about precedent. Second, Rutgers Law School faced a lawsuit from a former dean alleging discriminatory termination, seeking reinstatement and punitive damages. Third, only two federal law clerks filed complaints under the Judicial Conduct and Disability Act, raising questions about whether this number adequately reflects workplace concerns or indicates underutilization of the complaint mechanism.
