A single word can make or break a legal argument. That happened recently in the Missouri Supreme Court, where debate over the meaning of the word “when” led to a major ruling on Missouri’s congressional map. On this March edition of the Legal Roundtable, our panel of expert attorneys unpacks the ruling — and what the word “when” really means in the eyes of the law. They also discuss the unusual case of a journalist arrested for recording portions of a trial, a crime bill that could make it easier for courts to charge juveniles as adults, a new lawsuit filed by the former superintendent of St. Louis Public Schools, and more.
