Misha Tseytlin, a partner in Troutman Pepper Locke’s Appellate + Supreme Court Practice Group, was quoted in the July 6, 2026, Law360 article, “After Tense Terms, Hints of High Court Harmony With Circuits.”

  • “It feels like it’s true — that there is not as much variation between the circuits as it seemed like there was last year,” Misha Tseytlin, appellate head at Troutman Pepper Locke LLP, told Law360.
  • Troutman’s Tseytlin, who clerked for now-retired Justice Anthony Kennedy, put it this way: “The fact that you have a more even distribution among the circuits, and that you don’t have a particular area of law or particular circuits being reversed repeatedly by the U.S. Supreme Court, shows that the Supreme Court is effectively accomplishing one of its principal functions: to have a more uniform enforcement of federal law and the U.S. Constitution throughout the United States.”
