Supreme Court Junkies Rejoice!


A great post about the last Supreme Court term over at SCOTUSBLOG.com The article is located here.

Some interesting facts concerning the wacky 9th Circuit:

• The Ninth Circuit has been reversed more times (15) than the First, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Eighth, Tenth, and D.C. Circuits combined.
• But, as Goldstein noted, the rate of Ninth Circuit reversals (83% or 15/18) is only slightly above the high court’s overall average (75%).
• Conspiracy theories notwithstanding, Goldstein surmised that the high court might just be trying to tell the Ninth (and, to a lesser extent, the Sixth) that “it would be good if they followed the law.”

I just love the Supreme Court ( I guess I am obligated being a law school student). Very exciting cases will be released next week!
