Blogging will be delayed

August 18, 2026

Expect At The Lectern blog posts to be delayed for the next couple of weeks while I’m away.  Curt Cutting, the writer for Horvitz & Levy’s sister blog, California Punitive Damages, will be filling in a bit, but there’ll be a lot going on.

In the next two weeks, the court will:  announce its September calendar, the first of the 2026-2027 term (that should happen this week); finish filing the last three of its 14 August opinions; hold a rare special oral argument session on Monday; and conference twice.
