: Cocky Law BlawgThe U.S. Supreme Court?s Declining Docket
By Pamela
Scholars and other observers of the U.S. Supreme Court have noticed a decline in the number of cases being heard by the highest court of the land over the last couple of decades. A recent study by David R. Stras, a law professor at the University of Minnesota, examines how changes in the make-up of the court have lead to the reduction in its caseload. His article discussing the study may be downloaded from SSRN here. If the workings of the U.S. Supreme Court interest you, please take advantage of the ongoing Supreme Court discussions at the law school. Bring a brown-bag lunch tomorrow and join Professors Holley-Walker and Brown to discuss several recent cases. More information is available here.
