Law - What is left on the Supreme Court's plate?

Joan Biskupic of USAToday has an artiicle today discussing the "22 cases to be resolved before recess." Some quotes:

In the next three weeks or so, the justices will issue rulings in several cases that involve some of the most significant -- and politically tinged -- disputes to hit the court in recent years.

They include three cases that test the Bush administration's legal strategies in the war on terrorism; a case that arises from the phrase ''under God'' in the Pledge of Allegiance; and a dispute over whether Vice President Cheney must disclose internal documents related to an energy task force he led in 2001.

Twenty-two cases await resolution; the justices have handed down 51 rulings since their annual term began in October.

Northwestern University's On the Docket site has a really useful table detailing the 22 cases remaining on the docket.

Another great tool is the FindLaw.com Case Index for the 2003-2004 term. Cases are listed by subject. Click on a case name and you get everything about the case, including links to lower court opinions (and the Supreme Court opinion if the case already has been decided), links to the briefs, the oral argument transcript when available, etc.
