Solicitor General Sees Pro-Business Tilt on Court
An article by Chris Mondics of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement sees a "business tilt on top court."
U.S. Solicitor General Paul D. Clement said in Philadelphia yesterday that the Supreme Court under Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. had taken a pronounced pro-business approach, and suggested that it could carry over into the next term.Clement, the government's chief legal advocate before the Supreme Court, said decisions limiting punitive-damage awards against corporate defendants and imposing restrictions on antitrust lawsuits suggested a distinct tilt in favor of business.
"The business docket is a very rich part of the docket and one in which the Roberts court to date has proven very sympathetic to the concerns of corporate defendants," Clement said in an hour-long address about the Supreme Court's recently completed term.
