As expected, the close of the 2008-09 Supreme Court term has resulted in a flurry of news articles about the Court. Below are some recent articles about the United States Supreme Court that are worth noting but are too short to justify full posts of their own:

* The L.A. Times reports that the Ninth Circuit is no longer the most reversed geographic circuit, at least this term.

* As everyone knows by now, yesterday marked Justice David Souter's official last day as an active justice.

* Chief Justice John Roberts believes that appellate briefs have become far too long.

* The New Yorker pokes fun at Justice Clarence Thomas's history of being silent during oral arguments.
