Welcome to Supreme Court Brief. The justices return to their closed-door conference Friday after a nearly four-week respite. As they consider new petitions and prepare for February session arguments, we touch base with advocate Michael Kellogg who returns to the high court lectern after a seven-year absence. Plus: Jones Day announces its new hiring of U.S. Supreme Court clerks—we’ve got a roundup below. We also take a look at a rare petition—the fifth in 44 years—filed by the Federal Trade Commission.
