The original CARES Act eviction moratorium expired in late July 2020, only to be replaced by a far more comprehensive eviction ban by the CDC. It blocked landlords from filing for eviction against most US tenants, and was extended five times before the US Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional on 8/26/21.
Jones Day was the law firm that basically ended the eviction moratorium during the pandemic that the Biden administration had imposed.
Look no further than the book by David Enrich..Servants of the Damned
The NYT's Business Investigations Editor reveals the dark side of American law.
Delivering a "devastating" (Carol Leonnig) exposé of the astonishing yet shadowy power wielded by the worlds largest law firms, David Enrich traces how one firm shielded opioid makers, gun companies, big tobacco, Russian oligarchs, Fox News, the Catholic Church, and much of the Fortune 500; helped Donald Trump get elected, govern, and evade investigation; masterminded the conservative remaking of the courts . . . and make a killing along the way.
