Welcome to Supreme Court Brief! The justices were expected to meet yesterday for their long summer conference list. They should reveal soon what cases they’ll add to the argument calendar for the upcoming term. We recently caught up with the ACLU’s John Knight, who is on the team advocating for Aimee Stephens in the Title VII transgender case on Oct. 8. A would-be first-timer hopes to stand at the lectern in another major case: California Solicitor General Michael Mongan has requested shared time with Gibson Dunn & Crutcher’s Theodore Olson in the the DACA challenge. Meanwhile, appellate veterans are jockeying at the high court over which case testing the power of single-director agencies the justices should review.
