Students Win in Court

3Ls Emma Rodríguez and Remy Carreiro of our Ninth Circuit Practicum won two prisoner civil rights cases at the court (the opposing party may still request rehearing) from a change in Arizona’s restitution deduction policy. They argued that the cases were wrongly dismissed on statute of limitations grounds and that the Ninth Circuit cannot affirm dismissal on the merits on an undeveloped record. The court remanded the cases in full.
