"'Important Questions of Federal Law': Assessing the Supreme Court's Case Selection Process":

Looks like an excellent forthcoming conference -- put together by the Yale Law School Supreme Court Advocacy Clinic and the Yale Law Journal Online -- on Sept. 18, 2009, at the National Press Club in D.C. Participants include Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson, Linda Greenhouse, Lyle Denniston, Prof. Fred Schauer, and my Mayer colleagues Charles Rothfeld and Andrew Pincus, who teach at the Yale Clinic.
