For the Supreme Court, a Term of Change Ahead

Tony Mauro has this report on the Legal Times:

The Supreme Court begins its fall term today on the verge of significant change — in its caseload and among the lawyers who argue before it, and possibly even in its membership.

By the end of the term in June, the Court could have decided more cases than it has in a decade. More of those cases than ever will be handled by lawyers or professors affiliated with law school clinics — unheard of just four years ago. And a new wave of lawyers and law firms will be joining Supreme Court veterans in jockeying for the increased caseload.
