PJ Gilbert's column

Today's DJ has PJ Gilbert's Under Submission, titled Who Knows?, about the SCOTUS Term that just started, and a program he attended previewing the term:

• Since the time of the bull session with Professors Winkler and Yoo, we now know the many issues the Supreme Court will hear this term. They include rights of gay and transgender employees in the workplace, DACA regulations, and abortion rights. Anyone certain about how these cases will be decided? I am chastened by game 5. "Go Dodgers" has a hollow ring. So does certainty.

Today's DJ also profiles LASC Judge Emily Garcia Uhrig, who worked as a 9th Circuit staff attorney (2001-2006), in Do No Harm: "Throughout an eclectic career in academia, as a public defender, and now as a judge, Emily Garcia Uhrig says she has always had a mind for restorative justice."

The SCOTUS Summer 2019 Map shows that only Justice Gorsuch visited SoCal this summer:

• a September 10 conversation and book signing at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation & Institute in Simi Valley, followed by two speaking engagements the next day at Pepperdine Law School in Malibu and the Richard Nixon Library & Museum in Yorba Linda.
