The Supreme Court’s long winter recess ends next Tuesday, when arguments will resume and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg may take the bench after recuperating from her cancer surgery in December. Looking ahead into March and April, we offer previews of some upcoming arguments sketched out by top court advocates. Also, a look back at Justice Elena Kagan’s sharp dissent in a religion case. And at the intersection of law and food, we’ve got a peek at the annual bake-off at the U.S. solicitor general’s office, where the hard-working lawyers deserve a tasty diversion.
