UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAW — A University of Kansas law professor has published a new article arguing the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in error allowing states and other parties to intervene in their own legal cases. That ruling allows more than one entity — including officials not elected to represent states — to intervene in cases, split legal representation and ignore court precedent and the law, according to Lumen Mulligan, Earl B. Shurtz Research Professor of Law at KU.
