    Oral Arguments, with Context

    Real court arguments, crisp audio, with context. Court recordings can be difficult to follow, and many suffer from poor audio quality. This podcast enhances the audio, provides a brief introduction to each case, and explains legal concepts that may be unfamiliar to some listeners. We hope these enhancements make oral argument recordings easier to understand, more accessible, and more enjoyable to listen to. Recordings come from the courts’ own public releases; Supreme Court timing is derived locally from the Court’s official transcript and audio.

    Zeiner v. United States — 10th Cir. (Sep 15, 2026) Sep 30, 2026
    Show notes

    The Tenth Circuit hears Cassandra Zeiner's suit over her father Harold's death after a visit to a Veterans Affairs emergency room in Wichita. In February 2019, he arrived with chest pain; a VA cardiologist urged immediate transfer to a hospital equipped for an urgent cardiac procedure, but the transfer was delayed and he died soon after arriving there. The VA inspector general later faulted the delayed transfer and reported that the hospital had not explained it to the family. Zeiner says she learned of the report in 2022; she filed an administrative claim in 2023, then sued the United States. A federal district judge dismissed the case under Kansas's four-year statute of repose, measured from the alleged medical act. Unlike a limitations period that can start when an injury is discovered, a statute of repose runs from the act itself. The appeal asks whether federal tort-claim rules override that state cutoff, or whether the government's alleged failure to tell the family about the transfer delay prevents it from invoking the deadline. Blake Shuart of Hutton and Hutton represents Zeiner; he will ask the court to let her negligence claim proceed. Zeiner v.

    United States v. Barber — 9th Cir. (Sep 14, 2026) Sep 30, 2026
    Show notes

    The Ninth Circuit hears Brett Barber's appeal after he pleaded guilty in a real-estate investment fraud case and received a 181-month prison sentence. Barber and a business partner promised returns from house-flipping investments; federal prosecutors and securities regulators say the operation raised millions while much of the money never funded those deals. This appeal focuses on his unsuccessful attempt to withdraw his guilty plea before sentencing. Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure eleven D two B allows withdrawal at that stage if the defendant shows a fair and just reason. Barber's lawyer will argue that advice about a possible life sentence made the plea involuntary, and that the judge should have heard testimony before rejecting his account. The panel will ask whether that is really ineffective assistance of counsel—a Sixth Amendment claim better developed in a later Section 2255 motion than on direct appeal. Barber also challenges the difference between his 181-month sentence and his co-schemer's probation. United States v.

    Negy v. Cartwright et al. — 11th Cir. (Sep 29, 2026) Sep 30, 2026
    Show notes

    The Eleventh Circuit hears an early appeal in professor Charles Negy's First Amendment retaliation case against four University of Central Florida officials. In 2020, Negy's personal tweets about race provoked public demands that UCF fire him. The university then investigated complaints about his classroom conduct and fired him in January 2021. Arbitration reinstated him; he sued, saying the classroom inquiry was a pretext for punishing his protected speech. The officials say the classroom complaints, not his tweets, supplied a lawful reason to discipline him. The district court ruled that a jury could find pretext and denied qualified immunity to four officials, so they appealed before trial. Qualified immunity normally shields officials from personal liability unless they violate a clearly established right; the question here is whether this record lets them end the case now. Kristie Hatcher-Bolin of GrayRobinson represents the officials and will argue that no clear precedent required them to ignore substantiated classroom complaints. Negy v. Cartwright et al.

    United States v. Donald et al. — 2d Cir. (Sep 22, 2026) Sep 30, 2026
    Show notes

    Four men appeal together from a federal gang trial in Bridgeport, Connecticut. In December 2023, a jury convicted Keishawn Donald, Trevon Wright, Eric Hayes and Travon Jones of conspiring in the East End gang's racketeering activity. The trial traced drug dealing and a series of shootings in conflicts with rival groups; the district judge later denied the four men's requests for acquittal or a new trial. Racketeering conspiracy here means an agreement to take part in an enterprise's pattern of crimes. One central question is what proof of continued participation after age eighteen allows adult prosecution when a gang conspiracy began while a defendant was a juvenile. Justin Pugh of Justin C. Pugh and Associates represents Donald and will argue that the prosecution did not meet that requirement. United States v. Donald et al.

    Payton v. Union Pacific Railroad Company — 7th Cir. (Sep 23, 2026) Sep 30, 2026
    Show notes

    Commercial truck drivers say Union Pacific collected their fingerprints when they entered Illinois rail freight terminals between 2013 and 2021. They sued under Illinois's Biometric Information Privacy Act, or BIPA, which regulates private collection of biometric data. Union Pacific also ran commuter trains and did rail projects for Illinois governments, so it claims an exemption for contractors when working for a state or local government. The district judge denied a blanket exemption: those government contracts did not themselves show that fingerprinting truck drivers was within the government work. This appeal comes before the underlying case is finished. The panel must decide whether a government contract at the same time is enough, or whether the fingerprinting itself must connect to that work. Gary Feinerman of Latham and Watkins, a former federal judge, represents Union Pacific and will argue for the time-only reading. When the lawyers say surplusage, they mean a reading that leaves some words in the law with no job to do. Payton v.

    United States v. Hester — 2d Cir. (Sep 25, 2026) Sep 30, 2026
    Show notes

    Rochester police said they recovered a car reported stolen at gunpoint after a chase and arrested Victor Hester, who faced robbery and gun allegations. The lawyers describe a federal guilty plea negotiated alongside Monroe County charges, which state prosecutors agreed to dismiss. They say the deal was negotiated on the mistaken belief that New York's repeat-violent-felony law might expose Hester to life in state prison. Hester argues that misunderstanding made his plea unknowing; the government says he still got a favorable deal and waived this appeal. Because that specific challenge was not raised below, the panel also considers plain-error review: whether a clear mistake affecting his rights can be corrected without a timely objection. Sarah Kunstler, a court-appointed lawyer from the Law Office of Sarah Kunstler, represents Hester and will argue that the supposed life-sentence exposure drove his choice to plead guilty.

    Scholl v. Illinois State Police — 7th Cir. (Sep 29, 2026) Sep 30, 2026
    Show notes

    After postal worker Tamara Clayton was fatally shot on a highway, Illinois funded a network of license-plate cameras for crime investigations. Hundreds lined Cook County expressways when this suit began, recording passing plates with a time and location; state police say they keep the records for up to 90 days. Two Cook County drivers, Stephanie Scholl and Frank Bednarz, sued, arguing that gathering those snapshots across many roads tracks their movements without a warrant. They did not allege police had looked up their own histories; the district judge dismissed their challenge to camera collection and said a future database lookup was too speculative to challenge. The appeal asks whether systematic collection itself is a Fourth Amendment search, even before an officer pulls up a stored record. Reilly Stephens of the Liberty Justice Center represents the drivers and will argue that the network's scale makes this more than an ordinary glimpse of a passing car. Scholl v. Illinois State Police (No. 25-1847) — U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, argued September 29, 2026.

    Mahn v. Allegis Group, Inc. — 2d Cir. (Sep 24, 2026) Sep 30, 2026
    Show notes

    A legal recruiter's firing in 2009 has led to years of litigation between Sharon Mahn and Major, Lindsey & Africa. The firm accused her of sharing confidential candidate information with competitors; an arbitrator ruled for the firm, and New York courts confirmed the award. Mahn later entered bankruptcy, and a separate lawsuit alleged a sexual assault while she worked at the firm. After that lawsuit, the firm told The American Lawyer that Mahn might have to repay millions she had stolen from the firm and her colleagues. Mahn sued the firm and its parent, Allegis Group, for defamation and other torts, but the district court dismissed her claims. The appeal asks whether that statement was substantially true and whether the district judge could consider arbitration records without treating disputed findings as established fact. Rebecca Brazzano of Brazzano Law represents Mahn and will ask the appeals court to revive her claims. Mahn v. Allegis Group, Inc.

    Bird v. Alanson M. Randol, D.D.S., P.C. — 9th Cir. (Sep 14, 2026) Sep 30, 2026
    Show notes

    Three employees at an Oregon dental office received religious exceptions to a COVID-19 vaccination rule. In January 2022, Dr. Alanson Randol withdrew those exceptions, required vaccination, and fired the three when they declined. They sued under Title Seven; one woman's claim was dismissed early, and a later ruling ended the other two. Title Seven generally requires an employer to accommodate sincere religious practice unless doing so would cause undue hardship: a substantial burden on its business. Here the appeal asks whether two women's objections showed a protected religious conflict, and whether allowing Lacey Bird to work remotely would have imposed that burden on the clinic. Ray Hacke of Pacific Justice Institute represents the former employees and will challenge those rulings, especially the decision that Bird's proposed remote work was too burdensome without a jury hearing her case.

    Greater Las Vegas Short-Term Rental Association v. Clark County — 9th Cir. (Sep 14, 2026) Sep 30, 2026
    Show notes

    Nevada required Clark County to allow short-term home rentals, and the county set up a license system. But the county closed its application window in 2023 while many applications were still pending, then began enforcing penalties against people renting without a license. A rental owners' association and Airbnb sued, and a federal judge temporarily barred the county from requiring those licenses and enforcing several related penalties. The county now asks the Ninth Circuit to reverse or narrow that order. The judges will consider whether owners have a protected property interest that requires a workable licensing process, and whether the temporary order reaches too far.
