A question that arises in appellate law practice is whether a trial lawyer should also handle the appeal of a case.

Gene Quinn, of IPWatchdog and Practice Center Contributor, sent in this article discussing why he believes the United States Supreme Court's decision to accept cert. in Kappos v. Hyatt was undeniably a bad decision. By accepting cert. in Kappos v. Hyatt the United States Supreme Court has clearly and undeniably jumped the shark in terms of patents. This case, which raises issues of such little importance to the greater scheme of patent law, is hardly appropriate for Supreme Court consideration. The… [read post]

My 11th grade English teacher* sent me a Facebook message a couple of weeks ago asking for assistance in locating the records and briefs from Brown v. Board of Education.

The Law Library's website has a very helpful page on finding U.S. Supreme Court Records and… [read post]

Three Supreme Court Justices are up for retention in November: Barbara Pariente, Fred Lewis and Peggy Quince. The GOP has announced a plan to unseat these three Supreme Court Justices in order to gain control of the Florida Supreme Court.

This morning's release of the U.S. Supreme Court's 5-4 decision in Caperton v. A.T. Massey Coal Co. (No. 08-22) could open the door to more recusal motions in Texas appellate courts (and possibly trial courts). In Caperton, the Court held that due process required a West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals justice to recuse himself from a case in which his largest single campaign contributor was a party. The story reads much like John Grisham's The Appeal (discussed here and here) in which a litigant… [read post]
