Seventh Circuit Roundup: Jurisdiction, ERISA, and Remands, Oh My! April Brings Complex Cases to 7th Circuit

The first episode of Seventh Circuit Roundup covers a couple of interesting cases in the Seventh Circuit – Hadzi-Tanovic v. Johnson and Hughes v. Northwestern. The former, a constitutional-rights case arising out of a state-court child-custody battle, addresses when the Rooker-Feldman doctrine bars plaintiffs from challenging state-court decisions in federal court. The latter, a case remanded to the Seventh Circuit following a 2022 SCOTUS decision, concerns ERISA breach-of-fiduciary-duty claims. Hosts Kian Hudson and Mark Crandley explain the reasoning and the significance of both of these important decisions.
