A Review of Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s Prior FDCPA Court Decisions

Yesterday, the U.S. Senate confirmed Amy Coney Barrett as a Supreme Court Justice to fill the seat left vacant by the passing of  Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. With Justice Barrett now sworn in, it's worth taking a look at how she has previously ruled on industry-related cases. 

While seating on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, Justice Barrett sat on panels for several FDCPA cases. Overall, Justice Barrett takes a common-sense and narrow approach to FDCPA cases and is not afraid to hold plaintiffs and their counsel to task when warranted.
