three-judge panel

A three-judge panel denied the Kennedy Center’s board request to restore President Donald Trump’s name to the institution pending an appeal. The board had sought to reverse a prior ruling that declared the name change illegal, but the judges found the request lacked evidence of irreparable harm.

Plaintiffs in the Milligan case urged the U.S. Supreme Court to allow Alabama to use a court-ordered 'race-blind' congressional map for the 2026 elections, arguing the 2023 map intentionally discriminated against Black voters. Alabama officials appealed a lower court ruling that found the 2023 map violated the Voting Rights Act, but plaintiffs contend the state cannot demonstrate harm from using the race-neutral map, which has already been applied in prior elections.

Alabama is requesting the Supreme Court to permit a congressional map that a federal court panel ruled was 'intentionally discriminatory' for diluting the Black vote. The three-judge panel in Birmingham found the state's proposed House district map violated the Voting Rights Act by disproportionately weakening Black electoral influence.

A federal court in Alabama unanimously ruled that state Republicans cannot use their 2023 congressional map, blocking efforts to implement a GOP-friendly redistricting plan.

A three-judge panel blocked Alabama Republicans’ congressional map, ruling it intentionally discriminates against Black voters in violation of the Constitution. The decision was unaffected by the Supreme Court’s recent narrowing of the Voting Rights Act, which the panel said does not alter their finding of constitutional discrimination.

Tunisian authorities are seeking to dissolve the parent company of ICIJ partner Inkyfada, with a three-judge panel set to examine the request at Tunisia's Court of First Instance. The move is part of a yearslong campaign against the organization, according to Reporters Without Borders.
