    This past Term of the Supreme Court proved “very tough for consumers,” says Robert Peck, president of the Center for Constitutional Litigation, in a video interview with The National Law Journal’s Tony Mauro.

    “This is a court that doesn’t seem to like litigation, and especially doesn’t like litigation against business,” Peck said. “They’ve taken a number of cases [in] which plaintiffs are now going to have great difficulty achieving justice and recompense for things that happen at the hands of corporations.”

    Peck discusses two of the cases that had the greatest impact on litigants: PLIVA v. Mensing and Wal-Mart v. Dukes.

    The U.S. Supreme Court unveiled a new look for its Web site earlier today, prompting longtime Supreme Court correspondent Tony Mauro to joke that the new site launches the high court "into the 21st century only a few years late."

    Mauro noted that the high court's old site had drawn criticism for being outdated and "clunky." But, he writes, while the new site does not feature much new content it is "more accessible and reader-friendly." The site's resources continue to include recent opinions, its calendars and oral argument transcripts.

    Kathy Arberg, the high court's information officer, suggested that new information and features would be added over time.
