Via the Wall Street Journal ‘s law blog comes this notice of a case involving a housing dispute in Chicago. I can’t decide the legal issues involved, which center on the question of whether or not the plaintiffs’ action is moot, but Judge Diane Wood’s dissent seems reasonably correct when it points out to the defendants that they probably shouldn’t use the phrase “pound of flesh” in their briefs when they’re being sued by Jewish plaintiffs for religious violations of the Fair Housing Act.
