Litigation Roundup: SpaceX Gets Win at SCOTX

In this edition of Litigation Roundup, the Texas Supreme Court determined SpaceX will not have to face a new trial in an auto crash case and the U.S. Supreme Court upholds a Texas law requiring visitors to pornographic websites verify their age.

There was also some news out of the Texas Attorney General’s Office, which announced that Solicitor General Aaron Nielson is leaving to become a tenured professor at the University of Texas School of Law. He will be replaced next month by William Peterson, who is currently a partner in the Houston office of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius.
