Courts - "Summary rulings spike at the high court"
Interesting article by Tony Mauro of The National Law Journal - a quote:
[A]t the end of a term that produced 77 signed decisions in argued cases, a new wrinkle has emerged. The Court seems to be putting more and more energy into a different kind of widget: namely, summary decisions in cases that have not been argued or fully briefed. It's a trend may alter Supreme Court practice.
