Taft partner Glen McMurry was quoted in a Bloomberg article, “Judges Dismayed at Veto Threat of Bill to Help Strained Courts,” published Dec. 11, 2024.

The article explains how federal judges are distressed by President Joe Biden’s threat to veto legislation to expand the judiciary.

Circuit, and president of the Federal Judges Association, urged the House to pass the legislation and for Biden to sign it.
