Last year, by many accounts, was the year of the political blockbuster for the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which presided over cases on the legislative reapportionment process and the state’s controversial voter ID law.
This year, though, will likely be a different case. If the cases upon which the high court granted allocatur last year but has yet to hear are any indication, 2013 will be a year in which the court hears arguments on key issues of civil procedure, medical malpractice and important novel issues for criminal practitioners.
