The Supreme Court on Monday released the calendar for its March argument session, scheduling arguments on issues including the seizure of guns from the home of a man believed to be suicidal (article available here).

The justices will hear oral argument in seven cases over six days –a lighter load than their average argument session, which often features two arguments per day. Some of the cases scheduled for the March argument session include:

United States v. Cooley (March 23): Whether a police officer for a Native American tribe can detain and search a non-tribe member on a road within a reservation for a possible violation of state or federal law.

Caniglia v. Strom (March 24): Challenge to police officers’ warrantless seizure of two handguns from the home of a man they believed to be suicidal, under the “community caretaking” exception to the Fourth Amendment’s general warrant requirement.
