The final edition of Top 8 includes coverage of the mass shooting in Maine, a federal judge striking down Georgia's redistricting maps, more Second Amendment fighting in New York, and more.
Introducing: Closing Arguments and Breaking Stories To bring our readers a more comprehensive batch of Courthouse News coverage, we’re introducing a pair of newsletters that we can’t wait to share with you. Beginning this Friday, Oct. 27, the Top 8 newsletter will become Closing Arguments — a weekly roundup of stories from courthouses across the U.S. and the world.

But wait, there’s more: We’re also rolling out Breaking Stories, a newsletter for only the most impactful, need-to-know updates, delivered right to your inbox as they happen.
