The U.S. Supreme Court’s recently concluded 2015-16 term will likely be most remembered for Justice Antonin Scalia’s unexpected passing, for the deadlocked cases and stymied ­confirmation process that followed, and for the court’s unexpectedly liberal rulings in closely watched cases involving affirmative action in college admissions and abortion rights.

Three of the cases that the Supreme Court decided this past term arose directly from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. In one, the court affirmed. In another, the court reversed. And in the third case, the court essentially punted, ­postponing any resolution of the merits until some later date, if at all.
