The Supreme Court’s Not-So-Shadowy Emergency Docket, with Judge Trevor McFadden (DDC)

Are so-called “shadow” docket rulings precedential? Mere signals, shadows on the wall? When can a lower court judge disregard the foreshadowing offered by the Court, and when should it treat orders as binding? What are the implications for the work of the lower courts? Join the Harvard Federalist Society as we host Judge Trevor McFadden of the District Court for DC to answer some of these questions, based on his recent article in the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy. Chick-fil-a will be served.
