MAY 1 – JUNE 3, 2025
Many international college students who had their legal status abruptly revoked by the Trump administration have had it quickly restored. But, as Managing Editor Daniel Carson reports, they are still nervous about the new visa policy the administration is developing and some still have lawsuits pending against the federal government. Speaking of college, Indiana Supreme Court Justice Christopher Goff recently returned to school and has earned his master of judicial studies degree, or LLM, from Duke University, Alexa Shrake reports. And at Notre Dame Law School, some students in the Religious Liberty Clinic are celebrating their contributions to oral arguments made at the U.S. Supreme Court over a dispute to allow faith-based school to operate as a charter school in Oklahoma.
