Short Circuit: An inexhaustive weekly compendium of rulings from the federal courts of appeal

Please enjoy the latest edition of Short Circuit, a weekly feature written by a bunch of people at the Institute for Justice.

New cert petition: In 2014, federal task force officers beat up an innocent college student whom they'd mistaken for a suspect.

New on the Short Circuit podcast: A couple Master Thespian attorneys explain how being a good actor makes for being a good lawyer.
