Supreme Court Clinic Cases

The Yale Law School Supreme Court Advocacy Clinic represents parties and amici curiae at the certiorari and merits stages of Supreme Court litigation. The Clinic has also litigated rehearing petitions in the Courts of Appeals on limited occasions.

The Supreme Court's year is organized into Terms, each beginning the first Monday in October. Below are links to each of the Clinic's filings, organized by Term in which the case was heard. Where a case was argued on the merits, it appears in the Term in which it was argued, even if the petition for certiorari was filed in an earlier Term.

For other filings in merits cases, we recommend SCOTUSblog and the ABA brief archive. The Supreme Court's rulings and orders, as well as transcripts of oral arguments, are available on its own web site. Recordings of oral arguments and other documents are available from the Oyez Project.

Centers and Workshops

Yale Law School enhances the intellectual life of its academic community by sponsoring a variety of centers, programs, and workshops, inspired by the interests of its faculty and students.

The small size of the Law School and the amazing faculty allowed me to work and develop my research one-on-one with professors. Having a professor supervise my work was undoubtedly one of the most amazing and enriching experiences I had at YLS.
