Forcing Supreme Court Review By The Federal Circuit, Jeremy W. Bock Apr 2023

Forcing Supreme Court Review By The Federal Circuit, Jeremy W. Bock

Buffalo Law Review

From time to time, a federal court of appeals may want the Supreme Court to take a case because it is stuck: there is an unresolved issue that is important to the day-to-day administration of justice, but an en banc sitting would be futile.
