      <title>Supreme Court Term Review</title>
      <description>Supreme Court reporters reviewed the 2011-12 term. Among the topics they covered were the consistency of the justices on First Amendment issues, rulings against the government in life sentences for juveniles, allowing police to track someone by global positioning systems, and plea bargaining cases. They discussed the Affordable Care Act ruling, the health care law, at length. Of Chief Justice Roberts' vote on health care, David Savage said, "...eight of the nine voted as you would have guessed.... Only one justice voted in a way that you wouldn't have guessed....It seems to me the last person you ought to say that made a decision that's political is John Roberts."</description>

      <description>The Institute of Bill of Rights Law, part of the William and Mary School of Law, marked the commencement of the new term of the United States Supreme Court with its 18th annual Supreme Court Preview conference.

 Participants included Jay Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice representing Rumsfeld; Beth Brinkman, former Asst. to the Solicitor General in the Clinton Administration, representing FAIR (Forum for Academic &amp; Institutional Rights); and Walter Dellinger, former Acting Solicitor General in the Clinton Administration, with an amicus brief representing Harvard Law School
