Petitions to watch | Conference of October 16
on Oct 15, 2015 at 9:11 pm
In its Conference of October 16, 2015, the Court will consider petitions seeking review of issues such as whether the Freedom of Information Act shields documents and discussions about an agency’s public justification for prior decisions, whether a misdemeanor crime with the mens rea of recklessness qualifies as a “misdemeanor crime of domestic violence,” and whether the Eighth Amendment prohibits sentencing a child to life imprisonment without possibility of parole.
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.
