Today’s Grants: The Complete Briefs

To complete our coverage of today’s grants handed down by the Court, we are now making available every brief that has been filed in all of the cases added to the Court’s docket earlier today – cert. petitions, briefs in opposition (BIOs), reply briefs, even amici filings. For Supreme Court watchers or those with a rooting interest in any of the cases before the Court, the three months since the Court was last in session must have felt very long indeed; we hope, though, that the 44 documents that you can now download from these 9 cases should more than quench your thirst for Supreme Court material until the new Term officially begins on Monday.

If you missed any of our earlier coverage of today’s grants, you can read Lyle’s post from the Courthouse here, you can download a list of the questions presented from this post, and today’s relevant news articles and blog posts are collected here in today’s round-up.

You’ll be able to download the documents after the jump.

Thanks are owed to the many attorneys and assistants who answered my e-mails asking for materials, as well as the staff in the clerk’s office of the Supreme Court, for making it possible to post the complete set of documents so quickly after the grants were announced.
