‘Taking on the torch’: Osuji builds on legal career, family legacy amid pandemic
Chinonso Osuji
Despite a year full of unexpected and difficult events, Attorney Chinonso Osuji has been building a legal career and a legacy for herself and her family.
Osuji is an associate at Reinhart’s Milwaukee office. She joined the firm full time in November a natural transition after spending two summers with the firm. The real estate department’s expertise and its people impressed her.
“What led me to the firm was the energy of the people when I first interviewed with them,” Osuji said. “The real estate department is nationally renowned, so it just made sense for me to push hard to join the real estate department.”

Tilley focuses her scholarly work on the boundary between public and private law, with particular focus on the appropriate treatment of speech and speech injuries.

When will Biden ask the Supreme Court to uphold Obamacare?
President Joe Biden has been in office for less than two weeks, but a looming question is when, not whether, his Justice Department will change the federal government’s position before the Supreme Court on the Affordable Care Act.
For four years the law remained a consistent target at the center of former President’s Donald Trump’s political dart board.
His ire culminated a little more than three months ago, when acting Solicitor General Jeffrey B. Wall told the justices that they should invalidate the entire 900-page law.
The challenge for Biden’s Justice Department is not only telling the justices it manifestly opposes the position taken by the Trump administration in the case, but how to pull off the task. Changing its position on the Affordable Care Act wouldn’t end the lawsuit, which was brought by Texas and other Republican-led states, but could inform how the justices look at the case.
