The Supreme Court’s October 2011 term is turning out to be a bit of a sleeper for businesses, according to Tom Goldstein, founder both of SCOTUSblog and the Supreme Court-focused firm Goldstein & Russell. The term seems to be marked by a focus on social issues—from GPS tracking to affirmative action.

“I don’t think this is going to be a watershed term for business,” Goldstein says. “There’s not a Dukes v. Wal-Mart; there’s not an AT&T v. Concepcion.”
