Supreme Court Resolves Circuit Split over Scope of Computer Fraud and Abuse Act

After months of anticipation, the Supreme Court issued its opinion in Van Buren v.

COVID and The Courts

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to expand its geographic reach, courts across the country have begun to impose a number of restrictions, closures, and other emergency measures.
