Tuesday round-up

The court will hear argument at 10 a.m. in a free-speech case that asks whether the government can render a lawsuit moot by ending an unconstitutional policy after the lawsuit is filed, even if the plaintiff is seeking a nominal amount of monetary damages — such as $1 — based on constitutional violations that occurred when the policy was still in place. Our preview of Uzuegbunam v. Preczewski is here.
