Acerca de esta escucha

Following what the Supreme Court is actually doing can be daunting. Reporting on the subject is often only done within the context of political narratives of the day -- and following the Court's decisions and reading every new case can be a non-starter. The purpose of this Podcast is to make it as easy as possible for members of the public to source information about what is happening at the Supreme Court. For that reason, we read every Opinion Syllabus without any commentary whatsoever. Further, there are no advertisements or sponsors. We call it "information sourcing," and we hope that the podcast is a useful resource for members of the public who want to understand the legal issues of the day, prospective law students who want to get to know legal language and understand good legal writing, and attorneys who can use the podcast to be better advocates for their clients.

    Held: Relief under Rule 60(b)(6) requires extraordinary circumstances, and this standard does not become less demanding when the movant seeks to reopen a case to amend a complaint. A party must first satisfy Rule 60(b) before Rule 15(a)’s liberal amendment standard can apply.

    Held: The D. C. Circuit failed to afford the Board the substantial judicial deference required in NEPA cases and incorrectly interpreted NEPA to require the Board to consider the environmental effects of upstream and downstream projects that are separate in time or place from the Uinta Basin Railway. Pp. 6–22.

I am getting my Masters of Law in Constitutional Law right now thus, I read SCOTUS opinions regularly. But because I am extremely dyslexic and a former music major, I am an audio learner. I have struggled to find ways to have the opinions read aloud. When downloading them and having a separate app read the cases the cases include in text citations. The opinion then becomes very difficult to follow. Especially, because they are full cites with all three reporter numbers, making the cites impossibly long.

I am so grateful for someone to read these aloud in such a thoughtful and easy to follow way. Thank you! 🙏

Fan request: Mr. Dieken, could you also read the dissents and concurrences? I know that makes what you do a longer task. But, for example, in Whole Women's v. Jackson, it'd have been cool to have Roberts' and Sotomayor's important opinions read aloud. Plus, we never know what concurrence could be the next Youngstown or dissent that could be the next Lochner.

Grateful for this Podcast 🙏
