One week from today is the First Monday in October, at which the U.S. Supreme Court begins its 2015-2016 term, officially known as the October 2015 Term.
Today the Justices meet in conference to go over the big stack of petitions built up over the summer asking them to take cases up for review. About 99% of these petitions will be denied without comment. This week we can expect a short orders list of the few cases they have taken. Last year it was on Thursday. Next Monday there will be long list of cases denied.
SCOTUS blog has its Cases to Watch List in three parts, here, here, and here. On a quick read there don't appear to be any blockbusters in the criminal law area.
