Law360 (May 28, 2020, 6:50 PM EDT) -- The team recaps the U.S. Supreme Court's latest COVID-19 decision, this one involving an Ohio federal prison in the midst of a deadly outbreak, as well as what Chief Justice John Roberts misses most about the world before the pandemic.

Each week on The Term, Law360 Supreme Court reporter Jimmy Hoover in Washington, D.C., and New York-based editor-at-large Natalie Rodriguez cut through a busy docket to focus on the key cases and developments everyone will be talking about.

Up top, the team dissects Justice Roberts' recent virtual commencement speech to his son's Connecticut preparatory school, where he lamented the pandemic's effect on virtually every aspect of life, including the Supreme Court's more than century-old tradition of shaking hands before conferences and arguments.

Next, Jimmy breaks down how the justices on Tuesday sided with prisoners who are battling the Department of Justice over the conditions at an Ohio federal prison in the midst of a coronavirus outbreak that has claimed nine lives.

Last, Natalie looks at how the court's Thursday conference could see the justices adding new cases involving gun rights or a controversial doctrine that gives civil servants immunity from lawsuits while they are on the job.
