Happy Friday, and welcome to another roundup of the week’s news about the judiciary. This week I spoke to a former judge and an ethics expert about three judicial orders in the 7th Circuit that aim to give more opportunities to young and diverse lawyers but have become the target of a conservative group that called the orders “affirmative action for oral arguments.”
As always, please reach out to me at [email protected] with any tips or feedback and follow me on X at @AvalonZoppo.
