Single-Judge District Discussion

Recent dialogue about the benefits and drawbacks of single-judge judicial district has led to further public remarks, which have in turn drawn interesting rebuttal from commentators in Above the Law and Balls and Strikes.

(It bears mention in this discussion that the Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine – the lead plaintiff in the mifepristone litigation that touched off the present debate – was created three months before that litigation by several out-of-state anti-abortion groups, as explained in an informative Intercept article that discusses the broader history of such groups.)
