In last month's column, I examined the six cases that reached the U.S. Supreme Court directly from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in the 2012-13 term. As readers may recall, in five of those cases, the Third Circuit's judgment was either reversed or vacated, while in the remaining case the Third Circuit's judgment was affirmed.
In this month's column, I examine the other half of the equation — how the Third Circuit fared in cases that reached the U.S. Supreme Court from other courts but in which the Supreme Court expressly noted that it was resolving conflicts that involved the Third Circuit. In the 2012-13 term, the Supreme Court decided a total of eight cases in this category, agreeing with the Third Circuit five times and disagreeing with the Third Circuit the remaining three times.
