As the Supreme Court winds down its 2011 Term, Gibson Dunn's Supreme Court Round-Up is summarizing the opinions the Court has already released, the issues presented in cases that will be argued, and other key developments. The Court has issued decisions in over fifty-five cases already this Term, including five cases in which Gibson Dunn is involved.

Spearheaded by former Solicitor General Theodore B. Olson, the Supreme Court Round-Up keeps clients apprised of the Court's most recent actions.

The Round-Up provides a concise, substantive analysis of the Court's actions. Its easy-to-use format allows the reader to identify what is on the Court's docket at any given time, and to see what issues the Court will be taking up next. The Round-Up is the ideal resource for busy practitioners seeking an in-depth, timely, and objective report on the Court's actions.
