Professor Stephen Meili was interviewed for an article that appeared in the January 17 edition of MinnPost concerning the adverse effect that the federal government shutdown is having on U.S. Immigration Courts. Prof. Meili explained that the shutdown has cancelled tens of thousands of court hearings, thus exacerbating the long backlog of cases that has already plagued the immigration court system. He also noted that these cancelled hearings have left many noncitizens and their families in limbo, and that the resulting delays of two years or more makes it more challenging for lawyers to prepare their cases.

Professor JaneAnne Murray was interviewed by the AP regarding prosecutorial and defense strategies in the prosecution of the individual accused of abducting Jayme Closs and murdering her parents. Commenting on the level of detail in the initial charging complaint, Murray commented that the complaint may have been “designed to send a signal to the defense that the evidence against their client is overwhelming.” The prosecutors will want a swift resolution, she added, and even in a case of strong evidence, a defendant’s willingness to enter into an early disposition can be a factor in plea bargaining discussions.
In an opinion in HTC Corp. v. Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson, Judge Rodney Gilstrap twice cited Professor Thomas Cotter’s book chapter (coauthored with Norman Siebrasse) titled Judicially Determined FRAND Royalties, from the edited volume The Cambridge Handbook of Technical Standardization Law (Jorge L. Contreras ed., Cambridge University Press 2018), as persuasive authority on the subject of determining royalties for the use of standard essential patents.

Prof. Kristin Hickman was one of five administrative law experts featured in a short documentary, entitled Chevron: Accidental Landmark, about the Chevron doctrine of judicial deference to agency legal interpretations, which developed from the Supreme Court’s decision in Chevron U.S.A.
