Justice Jackson writes 1st Supreme Court majority opinion

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has written her first majority opinion for the Supreme Court. Jackson’s first majority opinion came in a case involving two products sold by the money-transfer company MoneyGram: the company’s “teller’s checks” and “agent checks.” Customers can buy the checks at banks and credit unions. But other states pointed to a federal law about abandoned money orders, traveler’s checks and “similar written instruments.” The law says that when those go uncashed, the funds from them go back to the state where they were purchased. The states argued that MoneyGram’s teller’s checks and agent checks counted as “money orders” or “similar written instruments” and that they were due money. In ruling against Delaware, Jackson noted that teller’s checks and agent checks operate “like a money order” and that the unclaimed funds were being sent back “inequitably” solely to Delaware.
