In October Term 2006, the Supreme Court showed an increased willingness to review and decide business litigation cases that the Rehnquist Court had largely avoided. The justices made important decisions in the areas of securities law, antitrust, patent law, civil procedure, employment law, and punitive damages. In the upcoming October Term 2007, the Court is set to review several other cases that will result in landmark rulings on critical questions of business law and litigation reform.

At this annual AEI Legal Center Supreme Court Briefing, panelists will analyze the business-related cases from October Term 2006 and the upcoming October Term 2007. Joining AEI scholars Michael S. Greve and Theodore H. Frank in the discussion will be former deputy solicitor general Maureen Mahoney, now head of the Latham & Watkins appellate and constitutional practice groups, and former general counsel at the Clinton administration Commerce Department Andrew J. Pincus, currently a partner at Mayer Brown. Peter J. Wallison, the Arthur F. Burns Fellow in Financial Policy Studies at AEI, will moderate.
