With immigration case, Court takes on another potential blockbuster	Top
The U.S. Supreme Court agreed Monday to decide whether Arizona's tough anti-immigration law can be enforced or is in fatal conflict with federal immigration law. Justice Elena Kagan is recusing, likely because of her participation in the litigation when she was solicitor general. That opens the possibility of a 4-4 decision, which would leave intact a 9th Circuit ruling that upheld a preliminary injunction against four provisions in the state law.

D.C. Circuit Rules For FTC In Condom Probe	Top

Janet Day on Law Firm IT 'Nirvana'	Top

Courtside: An early (and accidental) peek at today's orders and opinions	Top
Monday's orders and opinions landed on the Supreme Court's website a half-hour before they were announced in the courtroom -- a breach of the Court's traditional practice. The posting prompted some speedy tweeting and blogging by regular Court watchers, before the information disappeared from view.
Law school, a ticket to economic security? Better run the numbers	Top

DOJ Antitrust Suit Against AT&T Is Put On Hold	Top
