With the spotlight on sexual harassment in the federal judiciary, our April cover story, penned by Jacqueline Thomsen, takes a look at recent developments surrounding the issue. They include allegations against the late Judge Stephen Reinhardt of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit from former clerk Olivia Warren, demands from law students and former clerks for real change in harassment reporting processes, and a look at some of the reforms that the judiciary has already implemented. Could more change be on the way? Time will tell.

Next, there's a new sheriff in town—at the American Constitution Society, that is. Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold was recently selected as the organization's newest president, as Democrats hope to fuel their strategic response to the conservative judicial machine with a 2020 White House win.

Jacqueline Thomsen interviews Feingold about his vision for ACS and his thoughts on safeguarding the rule of law.

Next, Sarah Tincher, NLJ's managing editor, dives into a case currently before the U.S. Supreme Court, Atlantic Coast Pipeline v. Cowpasture River Preservation Association. At its core, the case considers whether the U.S. Forest Service lacked the proper authority to grant the Atlantic Coast Pipeline right-of-way to drill and place a 0.1-mile segment of pipe 600 feet beneath the surface of the Appalachian Trail in Virginia. Despite honing in on a relatively small section of a massive natural gas transmission project, some fear the case could have a big impact on pipeline infrastructure and the country's National Park System stretching far beyond the trail.

Next, in this month's legal practice column, MoloLamken's Lauren Weinstein and Leonid Grinberg write that recent federal court decisions indicate a weighty development in the world of antitrust. The argument long employed by antitrust defendants that a class may not be certified if it includes members who have suffered no demonstrable injury is gaining traction, they contend.

And check out Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse's opinion column on why he regards the U.S. Supreme Court case Seila Law v. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as "the culmination of Wall Street's sustained assault on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau" and what's at stake for Americans.
