Reflecting On 2018: The Year In Law And Politics

We look back at the year in law and politics. In law, we look at President Trump's travel ban and family separations at the border before the courts.

In local politics, 2018 found Massachusetts at the center of the divide in both parties. We have a Republican Centrist Governor in a GOP with little room for centrists and an all Democratic delegation in Congress poised to take new leadership while also divided over the future of their party.
