The Supreme Court's business-heavy docket this term seems almost tailor-made to engage and challenge its newest member, Justice Sonia Sotomayor. A one-time intellectual property litigator and a veteran judge from the 2nd Circuit, Sotomayor is unlikely to hesitate to jump into the mix on corporate issues. In fact, during a special Sept. 9 reargument of a campaign finance case, Sotomayor made a comment that has some wondering if she has a re-examination of the foundations of corporate law on her to-do list.

The U.S. Supreme Court begins its term Oct. 5 with new Justice Sonia Sotomayor on board and a business-heavy docket that seems almost tailor-made to engage and challenge her.
More than half of the 45 cases already set for the new term focus on business — a greater number than in past terms — but they touch on a broad smorgasbord of issues, noted Robin Conrad of the National Chamber Litigation Center at a Sept. 23 briefing on the term. “We’re struck by the breadth of the docket,” she said.
