Petitions to watch | Conference of June 13, 2013

At its June 13, 2013 Conference, the Court will consider petitions seeking review of issues such as whether a police officer may constitutionally draw a firearm during a Terry stop, the appellate standard of review for the Tax Court’s determination of mixed questions of law and fact, disparate impact claims under the Fair Housing Act, and violations of the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act outside Indian lands.

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.  Our policy is to include and disclose all cases in which Goldstein & Russell, P.C., whose attorneys work for or contribute to this blog in various capacities, represents either a party or an amicus in the case, with the exception of the rare cases in which Goldstein & Russell represents the respondent(s) but does not appear on the briefs in the case.
