SCOTUS like a family

Law360 has Sotomayor, Barrett Liken Court To 'Family' Despite Leak -- The unprecedented leak in May of the draft ruling overturning the constitutional right to abortion rocked the U.S. Supreme Court and the larger political world, but Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Amy Coney Barrett insisted during a joint appearance days later that the personal goodwill among the justices is like that of a "family" or "marriage."

And Law360 also has Wikipedia Used As 'Shortcut' By Judges, Researchers Find -- In an academic "stress test" on court decision-making, researchers found that Wikipedia entries are having a significant impact on judges' behavior and legal decisions, according to a paper published online Monday.

Today's DJ's monthly Exceptionally Appealing column is What's the Deal? about this published opinion on appealability.
