Good morning and happy Tuesday! We’re back with another Supreme Court Brief. Changes to how the high court is publishing preliminary prints of opinions are welcome news to practitioners, but the backlog of slip opinions may create problems for the uninitiated. And Monday’s orders offered no new grants, but a dissent offered by the court’s liberal wing argued its refusal to take up a death penalty case was a misinterpretation of precedent. 

As always, thanks for reading and we welcome feedback and tips. You may contact Avalon Zoppo at [email protected] follow her on Twitter @AvalonZoppo. You can find Brad Kutner at [email protected] and @bradkutner.
