Short Circuit 391 | 7th Circuit Judicial Conference
Description
Short Circuit traveled to Chicago for a live recording on the eve of the Seventh Circuit’s biannual Judicial Conference. In front of a crowd of Seventh Circuit enthusiasts your host spoke with some experts about some of the court’s recent opinions and how the circuit works. That included Sarah Konsky of the University of Chicago, appellate specialist Chris Keleher, and IJ’s own John Wrench. “Collective” (not class) actions, prisoner appeals and summary judgment, and Fourth Amendment overnight-guests all make an appearance as does the life and times of Judge William Bauer.
STOP PRESS: On the eve of this episode dropping IJ won one of its pending cases before the Seventh Circuit! Richwine v. Matuszac, concerning Indiana’s licensing of death doulas. So IJ’s score in the Seventh is now 3-2, not 2-2 as John then-accurately reported.
