The U.S. Supreme Court, for several decades, has generally only heard two oral arguments per day. According to Howard Bashman’s How Appealing Blog, the Chief Justice has just said at a judicial conference that the Court will start hearing three cases per day in the autumn 2008 season. This is good news for groups that are seeking to have the Supreme Court hear their cases.
How many of the older Supremes will be sleeping during the third case ???
Will at least some of the clerks (who do most of the work) be awake ???
