In its recently concluded term, the Supreme Court decided or denied certiorari on a handful of bankruptcy cases, granted certiorari in two consumer-related bankruptcy cases and bid adieu to Justice Souter, who served on the Court since 1990. The confirmation of his replacement, Judge Sotomayor, is expected in early August. In lieu of the usual Case Law Update, this edition will take a look at the 2008 term and its soon to be newest justice.
