Petitions to watch | Conference of June 7, 2012

At its June 7, 2012 Conference, the Court will consider such issues as a suit for damages under the Constitution for the torture of a U.S. citizen, the culpability required to establish a due process violation for pre-trial detention, an Establishment Clause challenge to a veterans memorial containing a cross, and the standard of federal habeas review for state court factual determinations.  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.
