The start of the October marks the new supreme court term, and our cover story takes a look at the key cases and issues on the docket. Lawyers are watching to see who the new swing votes are, with many observers expecting to see a bloc of three judges emerge as the deciding factor going forward. The term also has critical cases for abortion and gun rights, among other issues. There is also speculation that with a 6-3 conservative majority, the narrowly crafted decisions of prior terms could be no more.

We also have an in-depth look at what may be in store for the future of abortion rights under Roe v. Wade after the justices, in a midnight order, declined to block new legislation in Texas that is the most restrictive abortion law in the nation.
