Programming note: Now that I’m back home and at work from last week’s vacation in Palm Springs, California (photos forthcoming someday soon on this blog’s Twitter feed), tomorrow morning I will present the first of three Pa. Superior Court oral arguments this month, including an en banc oral argument a little over two weeks from now.
As a result, additional posts will not appear here until tomorrow afternoon. At 10 a.m. eastern time tomorrow. the U.S. Supreme Court will issue one or more opinions in argued cases. Once the Court posts those opinions online, you can access them via this link. As always while I am traveling, more frequent appellate-related retweets will appear on this blog’s Twitter feed.
