(Subscription required) John Eastman has appealed to the California Supreme Court to overturn a disbarment recommendation, arguing it punishes him for representing President Donald Trump and exercising constitutionally protected speech.

The California Supreme Court’s work during the 2024–2025 court year took the justices around the state. The court heard oral argument in all three of its traditional courtrooms—sitting in Sacramento for the first time since 2020—and conducted a special oral argument session in Fresno. The decisions that followed addressed a broad array of issues, and included several opinions interpreting recent changes to the state’s criminal laws.

To celebrate, the community is invited to gather at the museum this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
