Petitions to watch | Conference of October 11

At its October 11, 2013 Conference, the Court will consider petitions seeking review of issues such as the constitutionality of a state’s requirement that applicants for gun permits show “good and substantial reason,” the standing of an objecting class member to challenge a class-certification order, the scope of the right to present evidence in opposition to the death penalty under the Eighth Amendment, and the EPA’s authority to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air 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.  Our policy is to include and disclose all cases in which Goldstein & Russell, P.C., whose attorneys 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.
