Prosecutors overstepped in charging January 6 rioters with obstruction for trying to prevent certification of the 2020 presidential election, the US Supreme Court said Friday, throwing hundreds of cases into doubt. The matter was brought to the court through an appeal by former police officer Joseph Fischer, a supporter of former president Donald Trump who entered the Capitol in Washington with hundreds of others on January 6, 2021.

CALIFORNIA – Starting July 1, landlords will only be allowed to collect one month’s rent for the security deposit on a rental property. Assembly Bill 12, signed into law last October, says regardless of whether the residential property is unfurnished or furnished, only one month’s rent can be charged in addition to any rent for the first month paid on or before initial occupancy.

No one
should forget that the Supreme Court’s opinions have real-world consequences
for Americans. This term, the court kicked the can down the road on the
abortion cases, leaving the law in uncertainty. It reversed dozens of January 6
decisions, and allowed some gun challenges to flourish, protecting military-style weapon-fire devices that even Donald
Trump banned, and then made it harder to prosecute Donald Trump, solidifying
its reputation in the minds of the American public as a court taken over by the
MAGA wing of the Republican Party. For long-term effect, however, the real stunner for lawyers is a case called Relentless
v. Department of Commerce (also Loper Bright...

Georgia’s Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that it will hear oral arguments for Donald Trump’s appeal to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from his election interference case after the presidential election has already taken place. In a new order, the court scheduled the proceedings for December 5. As a result, the case likely will not resume until well into 2025, if at all. If Trump is reelected to the White House, the case against him would be postponed until his term ends in 2029—or possibly longer. Earlier this month, the court ordered a stay in Trump’s election interference...
