Access today’s Order List of the U.S. Supreme Court: At this link. The Court granted review today in 13 new cases.

In early news coverage, The Associated Press reports that “Justices will weigh limits on worker rights to sue employers“; “Supreme Court to rule in immigrant’s revoked US citizenship“; and “Justices will hear venture capitalist’s appeal over SEC fine.”

And Reuters reports that “Supreme Court to consider employee class action agreements“; “U.S. Supreme Court to weigh securities class action timing question“; “U.S. top court to weigh if SEC faces illegal profit-recovery deadline“; “U.S. top court to hear BNSF Railway out-of-state injury suit appeal“; “Supreme Court to mull where challenges to federal clean water rule can be heard“; “U.S. Supreme Court agrees to hear dispute over biologic drug sales“; and “U.S. Supreme Court to hear debt collection dispute.”

“Third Circuit will start posting oral argument video, but only for selected cases”: Matthew Stiegler has this post today at his “CA3blog.”

And today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit issued a news release titled “U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit to Make Oral Argument Videos Available to the Public.”

My earlier coverage of today’s Third Circuit news can be accessed here.

“U.S. VP-elect Pence to be sworn in by conservative Justice Thomas”: Lawrence Hurley of Reuters has this report. Meanwhile, the Justice’s lesser-known alter-ego liberal Justice Thomas will be out protesting the entire inauguration ceremony.

Third Circuit to begin posting videos of some oral arguments online: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit issued this order today adding IOP 2.6 to that Court’s Internal Operating Procedures.

Unlike the Ninth Circuit, which now posts video footage of essentially all of that Court’s oral arguments on YouTube, the Third Circuit has decided to determine whether video of an oral argument will be posted online on a case-by-case basis, which would seem to add unnecessarily to each oral argument panel’s workload. And, unlike the Ninth Circuit, which has for quite some time live-streamed oral argument video on YouTube, we will have to wait and see how soon after oral arguments the Third Circuit will be placing online the oral argument videos selected for posting.

I anticipate that the Third Circuit will someday move to the Ninth Circuit’s approach of posting videos of essentially all oral arguments online. Here’s hoping that day arrives sooner rather than later.
