Welcome to Supreme Court Brief. The justices this morning hear arguments in an admiralty law case—their fourth and in two years. We spoke with an admiralty law scholar who wonders if this area of the law is back in vogue at the high court or just a fluke. Veteran high court advocates Carter Phillips of Sidley Austin and Thomas Goldstein of Goldstein & Russell will face off. Two more Supreme Court reform proposals, suggesting “a radical rethinking of how the court operates,” join a growing list. We take a brief look at both. And Justice Gorsuch plays New York police officer in a Fourth Amendment argument. Thanks for reading, and feedback is always welcome and appreciated.
