Quincy Amerson, a client of the Wrongful Convictions Clinic at Duke Law, was released from prison on March 13 this year, after spending more than 20 years behind bars. He was convicted of first-degree murder in 2001 and sentenced to life without parole. After taking up Amerson's case, the clinic presented exculpatory evidence that led to a dismissal. A Superior Court judge found that Amerson was denied a fair trial due and exonerated him of the crime.

The Supreme Court has just decided three major cases that will profoundly shape First Amendment limits on governments' ability to regulate social media, and First Amendment law more generally - NetChoice v. Paxton and Moody v. NetChoice (involving Texas and Florida laws restricting social media companies' content moderation) and Murthy v. Missouri (addressing who may challenge government communications that allegedly compel content moderation).

In the wake of a 2017 mass shooting at a concert in Las Vegas, the Trump administration passed a regulation to ban bump stocks – a device that enables a semiautomatic rifle to fire rounds much like a machine gun. Last week, the conservative-majority Court struck down that ban, stating the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives overstepped its authority in classifying bump stocks as machine guns.

0:13:03 Last week, the Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in favor of upholding a 1994 ban on persons with restraining orders having access to firearms. While the outcome in U.S. v. Rahimi wasn’t entirely unexpected, it did offer our first glimpse into how the conservative-majority Court would handle gun rights cases going forward.
