Preferably, I'd like access to both short, layman-accessible summaries and merit briefs for all cases for the October '07 term. I've seen partial summaries on <a href="http://www.scotusblog.com/movabletype/">SCOTUSblog</a>, and the Supreme Court's website has <a href="http://www.supremecourtus.gov/orders/07grantednotedlist.html">this page</a>, which provides <em>lawyer</em>-accessible summaries. I need the information for undergraduates.<br> <br> 1. I could swear I've seen some listing of upcoming cases with the issues presented so as to be accessible to the public. Is it too soon for this more journalistic coverage?<br> <br> 2. There's got to be a way to find the briefs for the cases from their prior hearings, probably involving Lexis-Nexis, which I have access to. But how? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.67773 Wed, 25 Jul 2007 08:33:48 -0800 amicusbriefs certiorari law meritbriefs supremecourt anotherpanacea
