Supreme Court Hears Case on Agency Courts, France's Justice Minister Faces Conflict of Interest Trial

The Supreme Court is hearing a case involving George Jarkesy, who was charged with violations of federal rules with potentially millions of dollars in penalties. The case raises concerns about the punishing process of agency courts, which have been found to favor the government. In France, Justice Minister Eric Dupond-Moretti is being tried for conflicts of interest, with the trial being conducted by the Court of Justice of the Republic. The trial is the first of its kind and the first time a serving minister is being tried in this special jurisdiction.
