I’ve long been a fan of Bruce Greenberg‘s New Jersey Appellate Law blog, and this week Bruce posted an insightful piece on the Third Circuit’s landmark civil-rights reversal in Hassan v. City of New York.

The entire post is worth reading, but what stood out to me was his description of Judge Ambro’s opinion as ” one of the most important decisions that the Third Circuit has made in some time,” and his prediction that it “will be long remembered.”

For some perspective on the case from the inside, here’s a sharp case timeline posted by the Center for Constitutional Rights, plaintiffs’ arguing counsel. And here’s a post by the Brennan Center for Justice, an amicus in the appeal, quoting one of the lawyers to say that Hassan “is on the right side of history.”
