During this podcast, Associate Dean Rodger Citron and Associate Dean Tiffany Graham discuss the Supreme Court’s “shadow docket.”

The Supreme Court’s shadow docket refers to emergency decisions and other orders decided by the Court outside of its merits docket, which refers to cases decided after full briefing and oral argument. In the past few months, the Court has issued orders in a number of important cases on the shadow docket, generating substantial interest in this topic. The phrase “shadow docket” was coined in a 2015 Law Review article by Professor William Baude. (see Foreword: The Supreme Court’s Shadow Docket).
