Houston partner and former judge Gregg Costa joins the panel for a recent episode of the Reasonably Speaking podcast on “The Rise of the Nationwide Injunction and What It Means for the Courts.”  The timely and incisive discussion on nationwide (or universal) injunctions — court orders that extend relief beyond the parties in a case, often halting federal policy nationwide — is moderated by American Law Institute president David Levi and also features Judge Robin Rosenberg and legal scholars William Baude and Samuel Bray.

Gregg and the panel explore the constitutional debates, practical consequences, and political implications of these powerful judicial tools and examine whether the nationwide injunction is a necessary check or a threat to judicial legitimacy.
