Sie war eine Pionierin, eine rastlose Kämpferin für Frauenrechte, ein liberales Gegengewicht am höchsten Gericht des Landes. Mädchen schrieben Schulaufsätze über sie und kleideten sich wie sie für Halloween, erwachsene Frauen suchten Inspiration bei ihr. Der Tod von Ruth Bader Ginsburg, der Richterin am Obersten Gerichtshof, stürzt viele Amerikanerinnen und Amerikaner in tiefe Trauer. Weil ihnen ihr Leben so viele bedeutet hat. Und weil sie ahnen, welche Konsequenzen ihr Tod haben könnte, für die Verfassung des Obersten Gerichtshofs, die Präsidentschaftswahlen im November 2020 und die Zukunft der Amerikanischen Demokratie.

As the GOP is set to lock in a conservative supermajority on the Supreme Court, court-packing is re-entering the political conversation. This is the story of the original "court packing scheme" attempted by FDR in 1937 after several key components of the New Deal had been struck down by the highest court. Believe it or not, it all began not with a landmark decision but with a mundane piece of legislation designed to save money by reducing pensions.

Unlike most minicasts, this is topical (to the release date, anyway).

Minicasts are short stories for fans of quick, to-the-point podcasts and as a nice change of pace from the longer full episodes of Mass for Shut-ins.

On Friday, September 18, 2020, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, died.

Justice Ginsburg's death has caused a lot of debate about whether the President should appoint a new justice to fill her seat and, if he does appoint someone, whether the Senate should vote on the President’s nomination before the election.

This short bonus episode offers a brief history of the Supreme Court and how it functions within the United States government. Our guest for this episode is Mary Sarah Bilder, the Founders Professor of Law at Boston College.

Join the BHP as we discuss the second woman to ever hold a seat on the United State's Supreme Court.  

In the United States, following the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, democrats are threatening that if the Trump administration fills her vacant seat ahead of the November elections, they will expand the Supreme Court and pack it with their own judges. Democrat Senator Ed Markey from Massachusetts wrote in a statement that “Mitch McConnell set the precedent. No Supreme Court vacancies filled in an election year. If he violates it, when Democrats control the Senate in the next Congress, we must abolish the filibuster and expand the Supreme Court.”

Meanwhile, Shinzo Abe resigned as Prime Minister of Japan over health reasons, and the new prime minister, Yoshihide Suga, is now taking up the position during a sensitive time when it comes to Japan’s security and economy related to China. We'll be taking an in-depth look into this.

And the sale of TikTok has gone through, meaning people will still be able to download and use the app. Trump gave the go-ahead for the sale of the company, which for its future IPO will allow Oracle to gain a 12.5 percent stake and Walmart to gain a 7.5 percent stake. Going forward, four of the five members of the board of the directors for TikTok Global will be Americans, among whom will be Walmart CEO Doug McMillion. The Chinese company that owns TikTok, ByteDance, will still have majority ownership.

Episode 5 of our special podcast series marking the 50th anniversary of the first publication of Wright & Miller’s Federal Practice & Procedure continues the discussion between Prof. Arthur Miller, founding author of the treatise, and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, including her thoughts on what it’s like to argue a case before the High Court with her perspectives and experience on both sides of the bench.

Professor Miller and Justice Ginsburg discuss the Justice’s views on what makes for an effective argument before the Court, how lawyers can write more effective briefs, and how Justice Ginsburg feels about the recent RBG documentary on her life.

In the previous episode –the first of the two-part discussion -- Professor Miller and Justice Ginsburg discussed their overlapping journeys in the law, first as classmates at Harvard Law School, as attorneys arguing before the Supreme Court, and in their current roles, respectively, as law school professor and supreme court justice.

Federal Practice & Procedure is one of the most respected and enduring legal treatises. The treatise has been cited by federal courts an astounding 90,000 times, according to Westlaw estimates, and has been cited by the U.S. Supreme Court every year since 1973.

Thomson Reuters is presenting this special podcast series throughout 2019 featuring Professor Miller with leading legal scholars and thought leaders as they explore the issues and challenges facing attorneys practicing before the federal judiciary.
