Public interest in the U.S. Supreme Court skyrocketed following last term’s landmark healthcare decision, and a panel of longtime high court litigators said yesterday that the court is likely to stay in the limelight as it prepares to take on everything from affirmative action and same-sex marriage to drug-sniffing dogs next term.
“Sizing Up the Supreme Court,” an event sponsored by The National Law Journal and Legal Times and hosted at George Washington University Law School, featured four veteran high court lawyers: Latham & Watkins partner Greg Garre; Alan Morrison, an associate dean at George Washington University Law School; Wiley Rein founding partner Bert Rein; and Jenner & Block partner Paul Smith. NLJ Supreme Court correspondent Tony Mauro moderated.
