SCOTUS Cases from the Fifth Circuit

Originally published by Jason P. Steed.

Last term the Supreme Court decided nine cases that arose in the Fifth Circuit. The Fifth Circuit was reversed five times and affirmed twice, and the two remaining cases (on Obama’s immigration plan and on tribal-court jurisdiction) ended in a 4-4 tie. So far, for OT2016, there are only four cases that arose in the Fifth Circuit. Here’s a quick overview of those cases:

Moore v. Texas — Moore was sentenced to death for a crime committed in 1980.
