Law.com Supreme Court correspondent Marcia Coyle chats with Mayer Brown partner Nicole Saharsky about the big cases teed up on the Supreme Court's 2019-2020 docket. With a simmering impeachment investigation and a looming presidential election, the court will be taking on issues related to guns, abortion, immigration and LGBT rights. Saharsky, who spent 10 years in the U.S. Solicitor General's Office, talks about the political pressures on the court, which justices she’ll be watching and what she makes of the new guideline giving advocates two minutes to open their argument without interruption. Legal Speak is brought to you by Econ One, offering economic expertise, consulting and dispute resolution, and data analytics.
