In this Bloomberg Law op-ed, Fordham Law Dean Emeritus Matthew Diller discusses Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s concurrence that centers on the question of how federal courts should bring about national uniformity in the absence of nationwide injunctions.

There’s a lot to unpack in the US Supreme Court’s decision in Trump v. CASA, which focuses on the authority of federal courts to issue universal injunctions to government policies. Lawyers and lower courts are scrambling to figure out its impact…

Goldfeder, director of Fordham Law School’s Voting Rights and Democracy Project, wrote about whether Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa will continue their campaigns for New York City Mayor, in this amNY op-ed. With the Democratic mayoral primary finally behind us, one would think that New York City voters can finally take a breath. It seems, however, that the November general election is already upon us.

After President Donald Trump threatened to seize federal control of New York City if mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani is elected this fall, Fordham Law Professor Aaron Saiger clarifies in this Newsday article the powers—and limits—should Trump intervene.
