Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

DC Circuit Sets Expedited Hearing Schedule in TikTok Suit Against Ban
June 5, 2024 by Jacob Kopnick|Litigation

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit last week set an expedited briefing schedule in TikTok's lawsuit against the bill that could either ban the app in the U.S. or force a sale of the social media company. The schedule says the briefs for TikTok and its parent company, ByteDance, and for a group of content creators on the app are due June 20. The government's reply is due July 26, and the final reply briefs for the app and creators is due Aug. 15 (TikTok v. Merrick B. Garland, D.C. Cir. # 24-1113).
