SCOTUS Orders: A thin term for crim. law

| 0 Comments
The Supreme Court's Monday orders list is here.  No criminal cases were taken for full briefing and argument.  As noted here, there was summary reversal in one often-relisted habeas case, Hardy v. CrossWetzel v. Lambert and Cash v. Maxwell are still missing in action, but I wouldn't be surprised to see summary reversals in those two in January.

In a somewhat crime-related case, the Supreme Court took up the controversial Arizona immigration law in Arizona v. United States, No. 11-182.

It's shaping up to be one of the thinnest terms for criminal law I can remember over the last 25 years.  For the upcoming January argument calendar, there are five days of argument with 10 cases, and zero criminal/habeas cases.
