    The shadow docket with Steve Vladeck

    Since 2017, the Supreme Court has significantly increased its use of the process by which the justices hear and resolves emergency appeals, sometimes known as the shadow docket. These decisions are made without oral argument and often come in short unsigned orders. Stephen Vladeck, the Charles Alan Wright Chair in Federal Courts at the University of Texas School of Law, has closely tracked that change and its impact on the court as an institution in recent years. Vladeck joins Amy to discuss his new book The Shadow Docket.  We are taking a hiatus from our regularly scheduled episodes this spring. We hope to be back soon.  (Music by Keys of Moon Music via Soundcloud) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    What’s going on with Munsingwear?

    In an essay published in The New York Times this fall, two law professors, Lisa Tucker and Stefanie Lindquist, argued that the Supreme Court is increasingly setting aside significant decisions from the lower courts as if they never happened. The court is invalidating these decisions in brief procedural orders under what’s known as “Munsingwear vacatur.” Amy sits down with Tucker and Lindquist to hear more about the trend.

    The 800-pound gorilla

Harper will be argued Wednesday, Dec. 7. Send us a question about the court at scotustalk@scotusblog.com or leave us a voicemail at (202) 596-2906.
