Happy 1st Monday

Today's the First Monday in October, so SCOTUS is back, accompanied by zillions of articles. Law360 also celebrates with a SCOTUS quiz: How Well Do You Know Supreme Court History?

[Law360 has Justice Jackson Brings Tough Questions To First Argument and Ill. Federal Judge Tapped As Chief Justice Roberts' Counselor]

Also widely reported, including on How Appealing: “Laurence Silberman, Federal Appeals Court Judge, Shaped Conservative Legal Theory; The Nixon administration veteran has died at 86”: Jess Bravin, James R. Hagerty, and Jan Wolfe of The Wall Street Journal have this report.

Today's DJ has Myron Moskovitz in Biting the hand--redux, about the benefits of trial lawyers invovling appellate counsel at trial to help with summary judgment motions, motions in limine, jury instructions, special verdicts, and post-trial motions.

Today's DJ also has PJ Gilbert's What's it to you? about grammar... and more.
