In the U.S. Supreme Court’s recently concluded 2013-14 term, the high court issued 67 signed opinions. In two of those cases, the high court decided cases on review directly from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Unfortunately, in both of those cases, the Third Circuit’s judgment was reversed.
In an additional six cases, the Supreme Court expressly noted that it was resolving conflicts that involved the Third Circuit. In three of those six cases, the Supreme Court agreed with the Third Circuit’s approach, while in the remaining three cases the Supreme Court disagreed with the Third Circuit’s approach. Thus, the Third Circuit’s overall approval rate in the Supreme Court this past term was 37.5 percent.
