With an important cy pres case ready for arguments Wednesday, we take you behind the switch of that day’s argument lineup. Plus: Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Monday criticized an Alabama trial judge in a capital case with a missing trial audio recording, and we’ve got a link below to this year’s NLJ Appellate Hot List, in case you missed it.

The Story Behind This Week’s Argument Shuffle

International Finance Corporation will go second, rather than the other way around, as was originally scheduled.
