U.S. Solicitor Basic Elizabeth Prelogar stated Friday that there was “an actual shift” towards the Supreme Court docket’s emergency docket lately, acknowledging her workplace’s frequent participation in disputes about emergency functions and different requests for extraordinary reduction.
Prelogar, who has served because the Biden administration’s high U.S. Supreme Court docket lawyer since 2021, stated the rise of the emergency docket—typically known as the shadow docket—has “actually modified the character of the work within the workplace” over the past decade.
