This week on the Wiki

By Akin Gump Supreme Court Practice Group

This week, we introduced a new feature on our sister site, SCOTUSwiki: we have created case pages for each ?CVSG? case ? cases in which the Supreme Court invited the Solicitor General to submit a brief expressing the views of the United States.  Each new case page includes the question presented and the filings in the case to date.  You can see an index of the CVSG cases here; you?ll also see a link to it on the SCOTUSwiki homepage.

We also updated several of the Wiki case pages this week to include merits briefs filed during the preceding week.  The case page for Dillon v. United States now includes a link to the petitioner?s brief, while respondents? briefs have been added to the case pages for Skilling v. United States, Samantar v. Yousuf, and Health Care Service Corp. v. Pollitt.  Amicus briefs were filed last week in Lewis v. City of Chicago, Hamilton v. Lanning, Morrison v. National Australia Bank LTD, Carr v. United States, Berghuis v. Thompkins, Hui v. Castaneda, and Samantar v. Yousuf, and we have updated those case pages to reflect the new filings.

We have also added one of this past week?s filings to the Wiki:  on the case page for New Process Steel v. NLRB, we have added the respondent?s brief, which was filed on Tuesday.
