The Supreme Court Cert Pool: Sotomayor Joins It, Lawyers Attack It
As expected, new Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor has joined the Court's so-called cert pool, at least for now. The controversial pooling arrangement, whereby the thousands of incoming certiorari petitions are divvied up among the clerks of the justices who participate, came under considerable criticism at a conference Friday on the Court's case selection process. One prominent theory about why the Court's docket has shrunk has to do with the cert pool, and it might be labeled the "timid law clerk" syndrome.Supreme Court Rejects Early Appeals of Attorney-Client Privilege Determinations
Federal court orders requiring litigants to disclose information that they believe is protected by the attorney-client privilege do not qualify for immediate appeal, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday.

Supreme Court Rejects Certified Question From 5th Circuit in Kidnap Case
Under federal law dating back to 1802, one way for a case to wind up before the Supreme Court is for a federal appeals court to certify a question to the justices. It has never been a frequently traveled path to the high court, but it has been allowed from time to time -- though not since 1981. On Monday the justices rejected such a request by the 5th Circuit to resolve a statute-of-limitations issue that could affect prosecution of long-ago civil rights cases in the South.No word yet on affirmative action, voting rights, or same-sex marriage, but the justices did resolve three of the outstanding 26 cases to be decided, ruling on issues as diverse as arbitration, sentencing, and even raisins.
