The Supreme Court mistakenly emailed orders to attorneys ahead of schedule. It’s the second major technical error in a year
- The Supreme Court mistakenly emailed its order list to attorneys several days before its scheduled Monday release on Friday afternoon.
- The early disclosure occurred because of a software malfunction that caused the court to release decisions about case reviews prematurely.
- The leaked orders included a ruling to take up a death penalty case from Alabama involving a defendant with intellectual disabilities, as well as a decision to dismiss a Republican National Committee challenge aimed at restricting Pennsylvania voters from casting a replacement ballot if their mail-in ballot was defective.
- Steve Vladeck, a Georgetown Law professor, said the incident was not 'a great look' and noted that the court relies on public confidence.
- This incident represents the second notable instance within a year where court rulings were disclosed earlier than intended, prompting concerns about how the court manages confidential information.
