The Volokh Conspiracy ? Jeffrey Toobin on the Big Legal Stories of ...

Over at the New Yorker, Jeffrey Toobin offers a short, breezy look at litigation likely to get a lot of public attention and debate next year. ?His ?coming year?s top five legal stories? are

  • Health care reform cases
  • Same sex marriage in California
  • Affirmative action
  • Football
  • Celebrity arrest

I don?t have an opinion; the legal issues I follow aren?t typically litigation oriented and are not much related to public attention; it doesn?t seem likely that the Alien Tort Statute in the Supreme Court would make anyone?s list but mine. ?But this is a list not about true, deep ?or lasting significance, whatever exactly that means, but about media and public attention. ?It?s also not limited to SCOTUS. ?Within that take on ?big legal stories,? what is your list of five for 2012? ?Comments are?open.
