Thursday round-up
....
Briefly:
• At Bloomberg BNA’s Cases and Controversies podcast, the editor of “Scalia Speaks,” a “new compilation of Justice Antonin Scalia’s speeches,” “underscores that the justice left behind much more than his written work.”
• In an op-ed for The New York Times, Stephen Vladeck urges the justices to review Bahlul v. United States, a constitutional challenge to the post-9/11 military commissions, in order to help “settl[e] the structural legitimacy of the Guantanamo tribunals.”
• In The National Law Journal (subscription or registration required), Tony Mauro reports that in a recent letter to several members of Congress who had requested live audio access to this week’s partisan-gerrymandering argument, the “Supreme Court appears to have to shut the door on livestreaming audio or video of its oral arguments for the foreseeable future.”
• At Pacific Standard, Tom Jacobs looks at a recent study that “analyzed the transcripts of 3,583 oral arguments presented to the court over more than three decades” and found that “’female lawyers are interrupted earlier and more often, allowed to speak for less time between interruptions, and subjected to more and longer speeches by the justices compared to male lawyers.’”
