At its March 30, 2012 Conference, the Court will consider such issues as deportation for minor marijuana offenses, prejudice from undisclosed exculpatory evidence, a foreign choice-of-law clause in an international arbitration agreement, and whether purposefully flooding land is a Fifth Amendment taking.  This edition of “Petitions to watch” features petitions raising issues that Tom has determined to have a reasonable chance of being granted, although we post them here without consideration of whether they present appropriate vehicles in which to decide those issues.
