At 10 a.m., the Court will release the remaining orders from the Justices? private conference last Tuesday. (Click here to see the initial orders list, and here for our list of petitions to watch at the conference.) Following the release of orders, the Court will hear argument in:

14 Penn Plaza LLC v. Pyett (07-581), on whether collective bargaining agreements may require mandatory arbitration of civil rights claims. Paul Salvatore of New York will argue for the petitioner, and David Frederick of Washington, D.C., and Curtis Gannon of the Solicitor General’s office will argue for the respondent.

We will post links to transcripts of the arguments as soon as they are available.
