The Third Circuit’s SCOTUS report card, in two parts: Since I began writing my monthly “Upon Further Review” column for The Legal Intelligencer — Philadelphia’s daily newspaper for lawyers — in December 2000, the July installment of my column has been devoted to reporting on how the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has fared before the U.S. Supreme Court in the just-completed Term.

This past Term included so many cases involving the Third Circuit that, for the second time in my column’s tenure, my report had to be published in two parts. The text of last month’s column can be accessed here, while the text of this month’s column (published today) can be accessed here.

“Detainee’s trial to be peek into war on terror; Think you know everything you need to know about the upcoming war-crimes trial of alleged teen terrorist Omar Khadr?

Today’s edition of The Toronto Globe and Mail contains an article headlined “As trial draws near, Omar Khadr lays bare his angst in letter to lawyer; Canadian’s long-delayed date with justice at Guantanamo slated to begin in coming weeks.”

And The Associated Press reports that “Guantanamo gears up for 1st trial under Obama.”
