Happy Friday, and welcome to another roundup of the week’s news about the judiciary. This week, we’re taking a look at a new paper from Harvard professor Maya Sen looking at “strategic retirements,” the trend of federal judges basing their retirement on when the party that appointed them controls the presidency. 

As always, please reach out to me at [email protected] with any tips or feedback and follow me on X at @AvalonZoppo.
