Argument preview: Bankruptcy case will have justices pondering standard of review for mixed questions of law and fact

The sole item on next Tuesday morning’s argument agenda, U.S. Bank National Association v. The Village at Lakeridge, is a bankruptcy case in name only. A quick glance at the briefs reveals that this really is an appellate procedure case – much more of a companion to Hamer v. Neighborhood Housing Services of Chicago in the October argument session than to Merit Management Group, LP v. FTI Consulting, Inc. in the November argument session.
