Covers US courts, constitutional litigation and civil liberties
Catherine Sadler reports on the courts for Law News, mainly the US federal bench: Supreme Court orders, circuit court rulings and the constitutional challenges that reach them. She follows free speech, immigration and executive power, gun law, policing and surveillance, and the use of AI in court filings.
Her reports are built around the ruling itself: the court, the judges, the case and what the order does. Recent stories include the Supreme Court's 7-2 refusal to revive the USPS mail ballot rule, a New York judge vacating the 75-country visa ban, and the Oklahoma judge referred for discipline over ChatGPT citations. She also covers UK criminal cases, such as the sentencing of a former Merseyside Police officer for computer misuse.
