What's New—SCOTUS: Conference scheduled for May; How has the Pulitzer Prize Committee helped Second Amendment supporters by awarding this year's prize to the Washington Post for their multipart series on the AR-15; Adrian Dominican Sisters v. Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc., Judge Hardy dismisses lawsuit.

SCOTUS

According to Second Amendment scholar Mark W. Smith: "The Supreme Court will NOT grant cert on May 16. What we want is for the AR/Mag cases to be 'relisted,' and then subsequently heard at a future conference. If SCOTUS is inclined to grant cert, then they will relist the case once or twice as the law clerks study the potential case very carefully looking for any procedural flaws like standing, mootness, etc."

Conferences are scheduled for May 9, 16, 23, and 30. The orders from each conference will be issued on the following Monday at 7 a.m. EDT—May 13, 20, 28, and June 3.
