ABAJ: “Kagan Sees Privacy as One of Most Important Future Issues for Court”

ABAJ: Kagan Sees Privacy as One of Most Important Future Issues for Court by Debra Cassens Weiss:

Justice Elena Kagan highlighted a future important issue for the U.S. Supreme Court and reflected on a past high-profile remark in a speech on Thursday evening.

Kagan said privacy in a changing world is a big issue likely to come before the court, Politico reports. She spoke in a question and answer session at a Washington, D.C., synagogue.

Kagan said former Justice Louis Brandeis was aware of the importance of the issue, according to the Politico account. He “understood how new technologies interfere with privacy, which I think will be one of the most important issues before the court in the decades to come,” Kagan said.
