Good morning and welcome to Supreme Court Brief! An opinion by Justice Sonia Sotomayor proved to be the key to a pro-debtor amendment to the federal bankruptcy rules which have been approved for public comment. We have the details. A fight between the government and a tax law firm over the confidentiality of “dual purpose communications” is now fully briefed for the justices review at their “long conference” in September. Former Obama solicitor general Donald Verrilli Jr., partner at Munger, Tolles & Olson, represents the law firm. Plus, scroll down to read about the long-running frustration with justices barring public view of their papers or records for years and years.
Thanks for reading. We welcome feedback and tips. Contact Marcia Coyle at [email protected] and follow her on Twitter @MarciaCoyle.
