Each of the three decisions filed this week provided points to fantasy-league teams—and, in the process, shook up the standings in stunning fashion.  After languishing in the cellar for several weeks, the Gavels of the State Public Defender’s Office picked up 15 points (ten for a brief, oral argument, and favorable outcome in State v. R. A. M. and 5 for a brief and oral argument in State v. B. W.), thereby vaulting all the way to the top of the standings—one point clear of the Writs, who themselves gained 5 points from Pines Bach for a brief and oral argument in Nancy Kindschy v. Brian Aish.  With only nine points separating all four teams, the race has never been nearly this tight so late in any of the previous eight seasons. 

The two decisions filed this week did not deliver any points to fantasy-league teams–hence, no change in the standings.
