Overworked court a myth says Douglas on the bench
Douglas argues the Supreme Court is vastly underworked while circuit courts are overburdened and cites historic cases to support his view. He notes the difference in signed opinions from 1939 to last year and compares terms of Hugo Black to present output. The article also covers a habeas corpus ruling and a rape conviction appeal from Nashville.
