This is part three of our seven-part post reviewing the Justices’ voting records in cases involving insurer parties. Today: the Chief Justice.
The Court has decided significantly fewer insurer cases from 2011 to 2019 than it did in the previous ten years. Since joining the Court, Chief Justice Cantil-Sakauye has voted for insurer parties in
Last week, we began a seven-part series reviewing each Justice’s voting record, one area of law at a time – beginning with civil cases involving an insurer party. Since 2006, Justice Corrigan has voted for insurer parties 11 times while voting against insurer parties ten times. From 2006 to 2010, she voted for insurers seven
Today, we begin a seven-post series, reviewing the voting records of all seven current Justices in insurance law cases. First up is the Court’s senior Justice (by longevity), Justice Ming Chin, who announced his retirement last week.
Since joining the Court in 1997, Justice Chin has supported insurers’ positions in 31 cases involving insurance law,
Today, we conclude our review of the Supreme Court’s overall record in civil insurance law cases since 1990. Between 2010 and 2019, insurer parties won five cases while losing seven. Insurers won only one of five cases from 2010 to 2012 and have broken even with three wins and three losses since 2015.
Among cases
We saw yesterday that between 1990 and 1999, insurers did quite well in insurance law cases at the Supreme Court, winning twenty while losing only twelve. Things took a sharp turn with the new decade, however; between 2000 and 2009, insurers won only seventeen cases while losing nineteen. Between 2000 and 2002, insurers won only
Today, we’re beginning a series of posts examining the Supreme Court’s record with insurance law cases since 1990.
First, let’s look at the simplest data point: the won-loss record for insurer parties. Between 1990 and 1999, insurers did quite well at the Court, winning twenty cases while losing only twelve. Insurers won four of six
Today, we’re concluding our trip through the death penalty lag time data with a look at the final step in capital litigation: the average wait from oral argument to decision.
In 1990, the average wait was 186.42 days (the result of an outlier case). In 1991, the average was 60.16 days. The average was then
Last week, we reviewed the data for the average wait between the end of briefing in death penalty cases and the oral argument. Today, we’re looking at a related question – does the lag time between briefing and oral argument suggest anything about the ultimate result in the case?
We divide the data into four
Today, we’re continuing our review of the death penalty lag time data, looking at the average wait from the filing of the final brief – whether that’s the party reply brief or an amicus or supplemental brief – to the oral argument.
In 1990, the average was 225.23 days. It was 265.92 in 1991, 217.3
Our next milestone in reviewing the lag time data for death penalty cases is the period from the end of party briefing – the filing of the reply brief – to the filing of the last supplemental or amicus brief (including replies to one or the other). Amicus briefs have been very rare in death
