Good morning and welcome to Supreme Court Brief! There has been lots of post-term analysis, but some of the most fascinating takes on the term come from empirical legal scholars. We take a look at two recent reports, one on the "pro-business" Roberts Court, and the other on amicus filings last term. Plus, scroll down to read a personal view of a major case next term that may fly under the media radar.

Thanks for reading. We welcome feedback and tips. Contact Marcia Coyle at [email protected] and follow her on Twitter @MarciaCoyle
