Home Daily News Supreme Court holds guilty plea doesn't bar… U.S. Supreme Court By Debra Cassens Weiss Posted February 21, 2018, 10:11 am CST A criminal defendant who pleads guilty doesn’t inherently waive the right to challenge the constitutionality of the statute under which he was convicted, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Wednesday. In a 6-3 opinion, the court ruled for Rodney Class, who had pleaded guilty to violation of a criminal law barring guns near the U.S. Capitol building. Class had guns in his locked jeep, which was parked on the Capitol grounds. He claimed on appeal that the gun law violated the Second Amendment and the due process clause because it didn’t give fair notice about which areas of the Capitol grounds are off limits for firearms. Justice Stephen G. Breyer wrote the majority opinion, which was joined by the court’s liberal justices, along with Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justice Neil M. Gorsuch. Justice Samuel A.

The Supreme Court, on Tuesday, held that foreign law firms cannot set up offices in India or practice in Indian Courts. It, however, clarified that they can advice Indian clients on a “fly in and fly out” basis, not amounting to regular practice. The judgment was delivered by a Bench comprising Justice A.K. Goel and Justice U.U. Lalit, which was hearing appeals challenging Madras and Bombay High Court judgments. The Bombay High Court had, in 2009, held that the RBI was not justified in allowing foreign law firms to establish liaison offices in India. It had then ruled that such foreign law firms can establish their offices in India only after being enrolled as advocates under the Advocates Act, 1961. This judgment had been challenged before the Supreme Court by the Global Indian Lawyers Association. The Madras High Court had, in February, 2012, held that foreign lawyers and law firms cannot practice law in India either on the litigation or non-litigation side unless they … [Read more...] about Judgment On Foreign Law Firms : Five Issues And Answers By Supreme Court [Read Judgment]

POLITICS 05/21/2018 02:28 pm ET Updated 1 hour ago The Me Too movement takes a massive hit from a new decision written by Justice Neil Gorsuch. By Emily Peck 200 Me Too just got dealt a major blow by the Supreme Court. On Monday, in an opinion written by Trump appointee Neil Gorsuch, the court ruled 5-4 that it is legal for employers to require workers to sign away their right to file class-action lawsuits against the employer ― and instead be forced to take their disputes to individual arbitration, a private court system in which companies typically have the upper hand. For many women, the ruling means they will no longer be able to band together to fight systemic sexual discrimination or harassment in court. Women’s rights advocates were quick to decry the decision in Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis. “It is a real blow to women in the workplace. We have seen from the Me Too movement the power that comes from women’s voices coming … [Read more...] about The Supreme Court Is Helping Companies Get Away With Sexual Harassment

POLITICS 06/05/2018 07:41 pm ET What happens when the president learns the high court’s authority over him is not written in the Constitution? By S.V. Date WASHINGTON ― With the president and his lawyers claiming he is shielded from prosecution and simultaneously able to pardon himself for any federal crime, are there any checks on Donald Trump’s actions at all from the courts? And what happens if the courts rule against him on a matter he believes could threaten his presidency or even his liberty? As Trump’s claims of overarching, even regal powers have grown more fervid in recent weeks, those questions have become increasingly worrisome to constitutional experts. “I don’t want to be an alarmist,” said Sarah Turberville with the Constitution Project, a group that has been urging Congress to pass a law protecting special counsel Robert Mueller and his investigation into Trump’s campaign. “But you could see this … [Read more...] about Trump’s Claims Of Vast Power Could Be Heading Toward A Supreme Court Showdown
