In a notable development, Law360 has recognized Hogan Lovells and the Fomby Law Firm in their Legal Lions of the Week feature. This recognition comes as a result of a significant ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court. The court has established that, in cases involving allegations of excessive force by police, the judiciary is required to consider the complete sequence of events rather than focusing solely on the specific moment when the threat becomes apparent. This decision marks a pivotal interpretation in understanding the dynamics of such confrontations and the standards to be applied when evaluating the use of force by law enforcement.
