Palestinian groups urge Supreme Court to pause $655M Intifada damages award

Palestinian Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to pause a lower-court order requiring them to pay about $655 million to American victims of the Second Intifada. After decades of legal wrangling, a 2026 ruling reinstated the award; the groups argue that ongoing payments would strain government resources and jeopardize security while they challenge whether the lower court could reinstate the award after recent legal changes, including the 2019 law expanding victims' ability to sue and a 2025 Supreme Court ruling allowing suits on U.S. soil.

States challenge federal reach over sports-prediction markets

Forty-four state attorneys general told the CFTC the agency lacks authority to regulate sports-related event contracts on prediction-market platforms, arguing the proposed rule oversteps its powers and should be governed by state gambling laws; the letter arrives as the CFTC’s first prediction-market rule closes for public comment, amid ongoing litigation with nine states and a string of mixed lower-court rulings that could push the issue to the Supreme Court for a final ruling on who regulates these contracts.

Lindsay Shiver’s US Location Becomes Center of Bahamas Murder-for-Hire Fight

Lindsay Shiver's U.S. attorney argues Bahamian prosecutors cannot pursue murder-for-hire charges because she was in the United States on July 16, 2023, while her Bahamian defense contends the DPP lacks jurisdiction and the indictment rests on evidence that she was in the U.S., signaling the charges could be dropped due to jurisdictional issues.

SCOTUS Keeps Federal-Forum Door Open for Louisiana Coastal Lawsuits

The Supreme Court, in an 8-0 ruling on a procedural issue, allows oil and gas defendants like Chevron/Texaco to move a Louisiana coastal-erosion case from state court to federal court, part of a broader effort to shift dozens of long-running lawsuits that accuse them of wetlands destruction; a Plaquemines Parish jury previously ordered about $740 million for cleanup, while Louisiana warns of massive ongoing land loss linked to coastal infrastructure; the decision concerns forum, not merits, and Justice Alito recused.

BBC seeks dismissal of Trump defamation suit over unaired Panorama edit

BBC asks a Florida court to dismiss Donald Trump’s defamation lawsuit over a Panorama edit, arguing the programme never aired in the United States and the court lacks personal jurisdiction; Trump says the edited clip falsely suggested he urged supporters to storm the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021, while the BBC maintains there was no malice and that the documentary wasn’t distributed in North America, despite licensing and VPN access questions; last month a Florida judge rejected the BBC’s request to delay discovery, Trump has about two weeks to respond to the motion, and a potential 2027 trial date could be set if the case proceeds.

Estate presses to enforce Doherty divorce as ex-husband battles jurisdiction

Shannen Doherty’s estate is moving to enforce the divorce settlement with ex-husband Kurt Iswarienko, four months after Doherty’s death, while Iswarienko argues the proceeding should not stand in the court that handled the agreement because her death ended the marriage. The estate alleges Iswarienko failed to list a Texas property for sale, withheld about $50,000, and did not return Doherty’s belongings, and it seeks lists of works and licensing rights and other obligations described in the settlement, including removal of Doherty’s photos from his site.

ICC's Challenge: Prosecuting Non-Member Israel Amid Global Tensions

The International Criminal Court (ICC) can prosecute leaders of non-member states like Israel if alleged crimes occur in territories of member states or if the United Nations Security Council refers a situation to the ICC. This jurisdictional reach allows the ICC to investigate potential war crimes or crimes against humanity committed in Palestinian territories, which are recognized by the ICC as a member state.

"Fifth Circuit's Judge Shopping Concerns Threaten Major Cases"

The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit is facing challenges as parties attempt to move high-profile cases out of its jurisdiction, prompting concerns about judge shopping. The circuit is considering requests to block the transfer of cases involving the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Elon Musk's SpaceX. Legal experts note that the bar for an appeals court to reverse a transfer order is high, and the circuit's recent actions may give the impression that it is trying to retain major cases within its jurisdiction. The venue issue has become more visible, with attorneys aggressively pushing for transfers out of the Fifth Circuit. The court's handling of these cases has raised concerns about the message it is sending and the potential impact on future litigation.
