Petitions to watch | Conference of January 11, 2013

At its January 11, 2013 Conference, the Court will consider petitions seeking review of issues such as efforts by the Republican National Committee to terminate a consent decree, the interpretation of the Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act, and the scope of the Fifth Amendment’s Self-Incrimination Clause.

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 work for or 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.
