Happy Friday, and welcome to another roundup of the week’s news about the judiciary. This week, I have a quick update on which judicial nominations have advanced in the last two weeks. Plus, read some of former appellate judge Michael Luttig’s thoughts on the role that lawyers played in the lead up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. 

As always, please reach out to me at [email protected] with any tips or feedback and follow me on X at @AvalonZoppo.
