Description

In 2007, The New York Times reported "limiting the ability of plaintiffs to bring or appeal lawsuits" had emerged as an early "theme" of the Roberts Court. (1) The Wall Street Journal concurred, reporting "the biggest change under Chief Justice Roberts might not involve who wins on the merits" but "who gets through the courthouse door in the first place." (2) Reviewing some of the Court's initial decisions, Dean Erwin Chemerinsky commented that "the effect of many of the Court's decisions was to close the courthouse doors." (3) More colorfully, Professor Judith Resnick labeled the October 2006 term--the first full term since the confirmations of Chief Justice John Roberts and Associate Justice Samuel Alito--as "'the year they closed the courts.'" (4) It is admittedly too soon to reach any definitive conclusions about the Roberts Court. The current Justices have yet to sit together for four full terms. An early consensus is emerging nonetheless that one effect of the Roberts Court is to make it more difficult for prospective plaintiffs to have their day in federal court.
