Today at the Court

One or more opinions are expected to be announced at 10 a.m.

Today is also “honest services fraud” day.  The Court will hear oral argument in two cases challenging that statute:

10 a.m. – Black v. United States (08-876), involving the application of the statute to private conduct.  Lyle Denniston previews the case here.

11 a.m. – Weyhrauch v. United States (08-1196), involving the proof needed in a state official’s trial for violating the statute.  Stanford’s Rakesh Kilaru previews the case here.

Deputy Solicitor General Michael Dreeben will argue on behalf of the United States in both cases.
