LOOKING AHEAD - Veteran SCOTUS advocates from Jones Day, Hogan Lovells and other major firms won the chance to make oral arguments next term as the clock ticked on the final minutes before the justices' summer break. Marcia Coyle reports that the justices added 13 petitions to their argument docket on what is called their “clean-up” orders list. One face the justices will see a lot of is Williams & Connolly partner Lisa Blatt, who had two petitions granted in roughly two weeks. Her Native American rights case in the term that just ended is set for reargument in the new term, and she'll also be arguing a trademark infringement challenge.
