A Message From the Editor

Good morning! Today in The National Law Journal's Morning Update read about:
-- A federal judge saying he might hold a trial in a case challenging the Trump administration’s arrests and attempted deportation of international students and professors who have expressed support for Palestine.
-- An internal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau memo outlining a significant retreat from enforcing consumer protection laws.
-- The U.S. Supreme Court appearing likely to let a fuel-industry lawsuit challenging California's pro-electric-vehicle rules proceed.
-- The U.S. Justice Department defending President Donald Trump's executive order against the Perkins Coie law firm.
