Key Developments in the Supreme Court’s 2025 Term
Plus our upcoming webinar, orbital debris and more…
Webinar: Register now for the tenth installment of our “Tech in the Courts” webinar series on Wednesday, February 25, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. ET—co-hosted with Washington Legal Foundation (WLF). Bilal will moderate a panel on the California Law Revision Commission’s single-firm conduct proposal, which could steer the state’s antitrust law away from SCOTUS precedent. Our panel will examine its potential impacts.
SCOTUS: Corbin spoke at WLF’s High Court Halftime event. He previewed key upcoming Supreme Court decisions, including Trump v. Slaughter, Cox v. Sony, Verizon v. FCC, and Chatrie v. United States.
Online Safety: Corbin spoke to the Federalist Society’s Berkeley Law student chapter about the intra-conservative fight over how to apply the First Amendment to evolving technology.
Calling it the “best quote” in the article, The Globe and Mail (paywall) repeats Corbin’s line from The Atlantic (paywall) about the insanity of settling difficult scientific questions, in ongoing trials over social media’s effect on teens, by “having lawyers get up and give speech contests in front of a jury.”
Space: In Communications Daily (paywall) Jim comments on the SpaceX and Starcloud orbital data center applications pending before the FCC’s Space Bureau, noting they raise questions about the Commission’s jurisdiction to regulate orbital debris and could be vulnerable to legal challenge.
DSA: An article in Tech Policy Press mentioned Berin’s essay explaining the inaccuracy of claims that the EU’s fine against X under the DSA amounts to censorship.
Upcoming Appearances: Our experts are scheduled to speak at the following events this year:
Sat Mar 14: Federalist Society – 2026 National Student Symposium (Phoenix, AZ, Bilal)
