Law360 (April 24, 2020, 8:53 PM EDT ) The 1918 flu pandemic is the closest historical precedent for our current crisis, and it produced a slew of interesting court rulings — dealing with teachers who were denied pay, botched medications, and a triple homicide that led to a groundbreaking U.S. Supreme Court ruling on police misconduct.

On this week's episode of Pro Say, we're going back in time for a little history lesson and taking you through all of them.

Each week on Pro Say, Law360 staffers Amber McKinney, Bill Donahue and Alex Lawson bring you inside the newsroom and explain what you need to know about key legal developments.

Also this week, we touch on the latest high court showdown over "stare decisis," as the justices on Monday overturned a 1972 precedent that allowed nonunanimous jury convictions in some states. The fractured decision led Justice Brett Kavanaugh to call for a new test on deciding when to overturn precedent.

We'll also dive into another foray into the legal wilderness for the marijuana industry, as a Colorado-based cannabis company known for testing the waters with intellectual property filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Attorneys will be watching the proceedings closely as a test for an area of the law that's been mostly hostile towards the federally illegal drug.

Finally, we're heading back to Florida for our offbeat segment as an attorney who took his pants off at a court security checkpoint fights to continue representing his client.
