This very important case will probably go to the U.S. Supreme Court next
year.

Since the petition for "cert" in this case was granted in March
2011, it is likely that the Court will hear oral arguments early in
its next term, sometime in the last three months of this year. Then
a decision could come anytime between January and June of 2012.

I have not heard who will be filing amicus briefs in this case, but
I think it would be wonderful if some academic groups would weigh
in, especially groups that represent teachers who use(d) music and
art that would potentially be affected in their classrooms. A brief
may not be as effective as a good meal and a couple of bottles of
excellent wine, but it would be a way to make your voice heard.
