We have 17 cases. To manage the load and create shorter days, we will split across two days: Five cases on Wednesday, twelve on Thursday.
Because we have an odd number in the class, Roberts v. Progressive has only one attorney assigned to argue. I also need a volunteer to judge a second case.
The order identifies the judges and counsel for each case. Between now and early November, you must meet with your co-judge to decide who will be chief and your opposing counsel to decide which side you each will represent.
The first name in the case title is Petitioner (loser below). In one case the issue being reviewed is a cross-petition by the winner below. Several cases are listed twice; distinct attorneys and judges will handle distinct issues.
You may write your reaction paper on these cases (if related to the subject of the class panel) so long as you are not assigned that case as judge or counsel.
