Introduced over fifty years ago in the Supreme Court’s landmark case Data Processing, the zone-of-interests test remains one of the most puzzling doctrines in… [read

A sad one... Troy was a great guy. A long-time CRD and clerk. Always someone who would help and make you feel good about how an argument just went, even if you got beat up by the judge.

Here's the email that Clerk Angela Noble sent to the Court family:It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of retired CRD Troy Walker.

Patrick J. Long, SUNY Buffalo Law School, has published The Gettysburg Address: Lincoln's Model Legal Argument at 72 Buffalo Law Review 383 (2024). Here is the abstract.

Instead, he used all the skills he had learned from his years in the courtroom to… [read
