I'm Alice and I'm Brett and this is the prosecutor's legal briefs.

I'm your host, Alice, and I'm joined as always by my

previewlific co-host, Brett. Hello, Alice. That was not a word, but I'm happy to be it.

Nevertheless. Not a word, not a word at all. But you know what? When you are already almost

through October, and already this season of scotus

is just bumping along you're going to make up some words because if you've been looking at the

news everyone's like every case is going to be overturned starry decisis is just going to be like

i know we're all shrugging a little like starry decisis nothing's going to matter anymore everything is going to be the end and we just going to be like, I know, we're all shrugging a little.

Like, star decisis, nothing's going to matter anymore. Everything is going to be the end.

And we're really only three weeks into October. As those of you who've been with us for multiple seasons of SCOTUS, Supreme Court of the United States, you may know that the term starts

in October. So we're really within the beginning weeks of this term.

It goes from October to May, June, arguments, and then the last opinions come out in June.

That's kind of like an academic year, shall we say, for SCOTUS.

So we're at the beginning of it.

There's a lot of meaty cases already. We knew that cert had been

granted. We knew that briefing was already ordered and they're going to be argued and they have

some are on the cusp of being argued. Some have been moved in favor of other cases that are going

to be argued. All to say is this season is not going to be one to disappoint.

So in looking forward to this very exciting year of the Supreme Court of the Land,

we thought we'd give you kind of the top five cases to be looking out for because they were going to have some really probably big implications on major areas of law.

And I would say, you know, Ligabrefs is really like a schizophrenic podcast. The only guys, you guys have noticed it. Like, it's all over the place. Like, sometimes we're talking about true crime. Sometimes they're interviewing authors. They're talking to judges. Sometimes talking about Supreme Court. It's just all over the place. You can't predict it. So we've decided to try and be a little bit more responsible the way we talked about this stuff. So we thought, hey, this would be a good organized way to give you guys a preview of the Supreme Court cases. So when they come down, you'll have a little bit of understanding of them. And if there's any of these you want us to talk more about, let us know. We certainly probably will when the decisions come down, I would think. And if there's any cases we missed that you think are really important, please let us know about those as well. And just for some stats, we said we're going to talk about five cases today. Those of you who have your, you know, prosecutor's university degree, you already know these.

But for those of you joining us for the first time, the Supreme Court is a discretionary court.
