Justice Neil M. Gorsuch of the U.S. Supreme Court recently made notable citations to the work of two esteemed Notre Dame Law School faculty members. In his concurrence for the case of United States v. Texas, which pertained to federal immigration law, Gorsuch included references to the scholarly contributions of these legal experts. The Supreme Court, with an 8-1 majority, ruled that a U.S. District Court judge in Texas did not possess the jurisdiction to preside over a lawsuit concerning the Biden administration’s guidance for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

The concurrence by Justice Gorsuch specifically highlighted a paper titled “Getting into Equity,” which was co-authored by Samuel Bray, the John N. Matthews Professor of Law, and Paul Miller, the Associate Dean for International & Graduate Programs. This paper, published in the prestigious Notre Dame Law Review in 2022, garnered recognition from Gorsuch, demonstrating the scholarly prowess of the Notre Dame Law School faculty.

Furthermore, Justice Gorsuch referenced Bray’s paper entitled “Multiple Chancellors: Reforming the National Injunction,” which was published in the esteemed Harvard Law Review in 2017. Notably, this particular paper received two citations within the concurrence, emphasizing its relevance and impact on the case at hand.
