On Nov. 1, my first day as the 17th dean of the Indiana University Maurer School of Law, I attended the robing ceremony for Derek Molter, Indiana’s 111th Supreme Court justice. This public ceremony was an opportunity for those in attendance to celebrate Justice Molter’s formal swearing in, which had occurred privately on Sept. 1. For the IU Maurer School of Law, it was also an opportunity to celebrate Justice Molter joining three other IU Maurer alumni on the five-person court.
Established in 1816, the court precedes our law school by about 30 years. Still, for most of Indiana’s history, …

Overstepping: U.S. Immigration Judges And The Power To Develop The Record, Jayanth K. Krishnan
Overstepping: U.S. Immigration Judges And The Power To Develop The Record, Jayanth K. Krishnan
Articles by Maurer Faculty

Importantly, they received specific statutory authority allowing them to “develop the record” during an immigration case.

Now, after Justice Barrett’s decision, Article III review is no longer available …
