Good morning and welcome to Supreme Court Brief! The justices have opinions scheduled for this morning starting at 10 a.m. Four cases remain to be decided. There has been no word yet on when the final day of the term will be. As we wait, a new study shows the very pro-religion bent of the Roberts Court and five justices in particular. Mayer Brown veteran advocate Andrew Pincus offers some thoughts on the term's arbitration cases. And two advocates with clients in the final four cases share their nail-biting experiences.
Thanks for reading. We welcome feedback and tips. Contact Marcia Coyle at [email protected] and follow her on Twitter @MarciaCoyle.

The top five most pro-religion justices since at least World War II are Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. and Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito Jr., Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch, according to a study by empirical law scholar Lee Epstein of Washington University in St. Louis School of Law and Eric Posner of the University of Chicago Law School.
"They are also all Christian, mostly Catholic, religiously devout (though this variable provides a weaker explanation than the others), and ideologically conservative. Amy Coney Barrett will likely advance this trend," the authors write in their study, "The Roberts Court and The Transformation of Constitutional Protections for Religion: A Statistical Portrait."
