Landmark Settlement, with Sweeping Array of Restorative Measures, Unveiled in Historic Federalsburg Voting Rights Case

Adding reconciliation to history-making election reform, a landmark settlement was announced today in a federal lawsuit that challenged 200 years of discrimination against Black voters in the Town of Federalsburg. With a sweeping array of restorative measures, the Town seeks to make amends to Black residents for wrongs of the past. The remarkable agreement – the first of its kind in any Maryland voting rights case – was reached through mediation overseen by U.S. Magistrate Judge Erin Aslan; it includes an official apology for historical racism, a street renaming, and community markers commemorating and celebrating the history and contributions of Black residents, among other measures.

Crowell & Moring and ACLU Challenge Racially Discriminatory Election System, Making History in Federalsburg

Ms. Hammond and Ms. James were officially sworn into office earlier this month. Before then, the Town had experienced all-white rule for its 200-year history. This dramatic change was brought about in substantial part by a lawsuit filed by Crowell & Moring and the American Civil Liberties Union of Maryland.

Conspiracy Contacts: The Supreme Court’s Next Frontier in Personal Jurisdiction?

The Supreme Court has shown great interest in personal jurisdiction issues of late. Last term, in Mallory, the Court upheld a state corporate registration law that requires companies to consent to personal jurisdiction as a condition to conducting business in the state.[1] In 2021, in Ford, the Court held that it is not a violation of due process for a state to assert personal jurisdiction over a defendant even though the defendant’s contacts with the state are not the cause of the plaintiff’s injuries.[2]

On July 13, President Biden signed the sweeping Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy, which contained 72 directives to multiple federal agencies aimed at establishing a “whole-of-government” effort to promote competition across broad swaths of the American economy.

Even before the Executive Order, several Commissioners and other commentators were calling upon the FTC to exercise its rarely-used independent rulemaking authority to issue new rules to address a broad range of issues.
