You might have forgotten given everything else that has been going on, but the Supreme Court is actually still hearing cases. We're halfway through the October sitting, and Ian is joined by returning guest host Professor James Stern of William & Mary to break things down. We cover labor law's intersection with arbitration, the Takings Clause, and immigration—plus lots more—as we recap last week's arguments in Knick v. Township of Scott and New Prime Inc. v. Oliveira while also previewing this week's argument in Nielsen v. Preap.
