Prof. Howard Wasserman published two pieces on the widely read SCOTUSBlog: Analyzing the Court’s unanimous decision in Hall v. Hall on when parties can appeal judgments and analyzing Monday’s argument in United States v. Sanchez-Gomez on when criminal defendants can appeal court orders allowing them to be restrained during court proceedings.
