The Religion Law Quiz PodcastQuiz #98 the Heuristic that Groff v. DeJoy correctedA heuristic is a mental shortcut that we use to reach decisions. We all use heuristics and they can be very helpful. But sometimes our use of a heuristic can be an Achilles heel because our generation and use of the heuristic overlooks critical details which, when they are considered, helps us realize that the heuristic that we used and created is incorrect. With that concept in mind, when you analyze the Supreme Court’s recent Groff v. DeJoy, 143 S. Ct. 2279 (2023) decision it becomes clear that several courts had previously employed a heuristic with respect to a p...2024-05-2107 min
