If you love debates over IAC and AEDPA standards...

By Douglas A. Berman

you will want to make sure to check out the oral argument transcripts from the Supreme Court arguments that took place today in Harrington v. Richter (case background here; oral argument transcript here) and Premo v. Moore (case background here; oral argument transcript here).  Of course, if you have no idea what the acronyms IAC and AEDPA stand for, then you probably can and should find better things to do.  Based on a super-quick scan, I think sentencing fans will find more of interesting in Premo v. Moore.  And I would be grateful to anyone using the comment to explain whether and why they think these cases could end up being very consequential.
