    By Tony Mauro and Marcia Coyle | July 17, 2017

    Elena Kagan was far along in the new Obama administration's vetting process for an important U.S. Justice Department job when she got a call from the White House. That job she was in line to get? Well, the White House wanted her to do something else. Kagan was asked to be the U.S. solicitor general instead and was nominated for the position on Jan. 5, 2009. The rest is history.

    Ropes & Gray Lawyer Who Argued 'Obergefell' Isn't Sweating Kennedy Rumors

    By Marcia Coyle | July 12, 2017

    Ropes & Gray's Douglas Hallward-Driemeier, who argued the historic gay marriage challenge in the Supreme Court, doesn't buy the fears that any successor to Justice Anthony Kennedy will jeopardize the "Obergefell" decision. "We now have hundreds of thousands of individuals acting in reliance on 'Obergefell.' And society has moved forward," he says. The SCB recently caught up with Hallward-Driemeier to talk about his work in this area of the law.

    SCOTUS to Decide if Cell Site Location Is Protected by Fourth Amendment

    By Harry Sandick and George LoBiondo | July 7, 2017

    Harry Sandick and George LoBiondo write that in June, the Supreme Court granted certiorari in a case that will test whether the justices are again willing to break new ground in the cell phone privacy context. The court will decide whether the government needs a search warrant to obtain historical records of a suspect's cell phone location, or whether it may do so under the Stored Communication Act, which requires the government to show only that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the records are "relevant and material to an ongoing criminal investigation."

    By Marcia Coyle | July 6, 2017

    The recent switch by the Trump administration's U.S. Justice Department from opposing to defending bans on class actions in workplace arbitration agreements will have consequences beyond a trio of challenges the U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear this fall.

    Justices' Broad View of 'Families' Is Tested in Trump Travel Ban

    By Marcia Coyle | July 5, 2017

    The Trump administration may not view grandparents, aunts, uncles and others as having close enough family relationships in the United States to be excluded from the government's travel ban, but the U.S. Supreme Court on at least two occasions, in different contexts, has recognized the importance of those family bonds.
