The state Supreme Court decided about five dozen cases on the merits during its 2010 term.? Attorneys Philip Romohr and Daren Bakst delved into the statistics and details of some of those cases during a presentation today for the John Locke Foundation and the Federalist Society.

In the video clip below, Romohr discusses interesting statistics related to the split between majority and dissenting opinions within those sixty cases.

In the next clip, Bakst critiques a controversial ruling in a case that kept murders behind bars, even though “good-time” credits earned within the 1970s-era law under which they were sentenced could have helped set them free.
