At its October 12, 2012 Conference, the Court will consider such issues as abstaining from claims of inadequate funding for counsel, adjudicating claim on merits under AEDPA, deference to investment decisions under ERISA, and disparate impact claims under the Fair Housing Act.

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.
