Today at the Supreme Court: 2/16/07

The Court is holding a private Conference today following a four-week recess.

Though the Court has issued orders granting cases immediately following Conferences thus far in this term, in prior terms the Court has not customarily issued such afternoon orders after the January sitting (since any cases granted review from this point on are likely to go over to the next Term). Because the Court is closed in observance of Washington’s Birthday on Monday, the regular orders relating to today’s Conference will be released on Tuesday, January 20 at 10 AM eastern.
