Law360 has What To Know About Supreme Court's New Recusal Rules
- First, the court revised various existing disclosure rules to provide that parties must now provide the stock ticker symbols of parties involved in the case.
- Second, the rules now impose additional duties on respondents to supplement disclosures of involved parties at both the certiorari stage and the merits stage. In a brief in opposition to certiorari, the respondent is newly required to "identify any parties to the proceeding that were not identified in the petition" — "along with their respective stock ticker symbols."
- Third, in a change that does not relate directly to recusals, but does reflect the court's increasing embrace of technology, the court will now consider a document timely filed if it is filed electronically on the filing deadline — in contrast to the previous rule, which tied timeliness to paper filings.
