OT2017 #20: “I Am The Split”

The Supreme Court’s March sitting goes out like a lamb… if a lamb symbolizes a 9-0 opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts. But first, we’re going in like a lion and naming names in the War on Arbitration— those Biglaw firms that require summer associates to sign arbitration agreements.
And as for that lamb of a sitting, we’ll talk about what the chief’s opinion in Hall v. Hall means for the definition of “consolidation.” And then, it’s round two of partisan gerrymandering in Benisek v. Lamone. With some incisive questions from the chief and Justices Anthony Kennedy and Elena Kagan, we might be a little closer to understanding the potential outcomes.
