Crossover Sensation, Justice Sotomayor

(Eugene Volokh)

Check out today’s Hall et ux. v. United States, a bankruptcy law case in which Justice Sotomayor’s majority opinion is joined by Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Alito, and Justice Breyer’s dissent is joined by Justices Kennedy, Ginsburg, and Kagan. This is also a good opportunity to make sure you know what “et ux.” means; the term is no longer used in most citations, I think, but the Supreme Court and some other courts still use it in captions.

The “crossover sensation” line is borrowed from my coblogger John Elwood.
