- Stay current. In May, SCOTUS decided two cases: Collins v. Virginia, in which the justices held 8–1 that the automobile exception to the warrant requirement does not permit a warrantless search of a motorcycle parked in the driveway of a home; and Lagos v. United States, in which the Court decided that private investigation costs and costs related to civil or bankruptcy proceedings are not compensable under the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act. And on June 4, the Supreme Court’s decided on Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd., v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission. Learn about it at our next Rooftop Law School or here on the SCOTUS blog.
- Can the US search data overseas? Craig Newman writes about it in the NYT.
- Harvey Weinstein went to prison on rape charges, and could stand trial. Read the legal case for (and against) prison time in The Hollywood Reporter.
- M&A. Is your company thinking of acquiring another one? Make sure you do your due diligence with these questions put together by the Harvard Business Review.
