In yesterday’s Washington Post, Robert Barnes had this article headlined “Justices Continue Trend of Hearing Fewer Cases.” Over the weekend, he also published this article about the increasing frequency of public appearances by Supreme Court Justices.

At How Appealing, Howard Bashman highlights two events of note that will take place on February 13. Here, he notes that Justice Alito will be speaking in Alabama that day, and here he spotlights this event taking place at Philadelphia’s National Constitution Center with Jeff Rosen and Jan Crawford Greenburg.

Howard also has this post linking to several articles about Friday’s grants.

This morning, the Wall Street Journal posted this story about today’s orders.

At Slate, Jim Newton has this post, which is the first in what appears to be a series of forthcoming articles based on his access to Justice Brennan’s private papers. UPDATE: Here, Rick Hasen of Election Law Blog notices that the story has been removed, but the Google cache version is here.

Finally, Workplace Prof Blog has this entry featuring more commentary on the upcoming union fees cases. Dana Gordon Blankinship also had this AP article on the issue.
