3rd Circuit halts midnight filings over lawyers’ objections

It’s the end of midnight filings for the 3rd Circuit, which adopted a proposal requiring most legal briefs and other court documents to be submitted by 5 p.m. on the day they are due. The Philadelphia-based court adopted the new rule despite opposition from bar associations and other lawyer groups that said an earlier filing deadline could exacerbate pressure on lawyers and sow confusion among attorneys from other parts of the country who do not often practice in the court.

These law schools are tops for government and public interest jobs

REUTERS/Patrick T. Fallon

The ABA last week reported that among the 36,078 new juris doctor grads in 2022, slightly more than 10% were in government jobs and more than 8% landed public interest jobs within 10 months of graduation. Which school sent 61% of its 2022 grads into government and public interest jobs?

The data also revealed which schools aced the law firm job market in 2022 and which sent the most grads to federal clerkships. The law school class of 2022 graduated into a strong entry-level hiring market, landing legal jobs at a higher rate than their predecessors in 2021 and 2019. With declining client demand in the first quarter of 2023 and rising layoffs, last year’s strong hiring trend may be tough to match.

Windfall tax seizure case in Michigan deepens appellate split on class standing issue

Thomas Fox believed that Gratiot County, Michigan, violated his Fifth Amendment rights when it kept all of the $25,000 proceeds from an auction of property that the county seized from Fox after he fell behind on a $3,000 tax bill. But Fox didn’t just sue Gratiot County. He also named 26 other Michigan counties as defendants in his class action, arguing that under the rarely-invoked juridical link doctrine, he was entitled to bring claims for absent class members injured by the same alleged conduct that he experienced. The 6th Circuit disagreed, in a ruling that deepens a circuit split on the viability of juridical link doctrine. Alison Frankel has the details.
