I continue to prefer "The Applications Docket," FWIW. A significant number of "regular," cert. granted, briefed and argued cases are "interim" in the sense that (nominally) they adjudicate preliminary injunctions and the like.
I think we should have a term that focuses on the salient subset of the applications that we are all talking about now.
And I agree that interim relief could lead to confusion about whether we mean interim relief from the Supreme Court or Supreme Court review of interim relief in other courts. But I’m not sure that confusion is substantial in practice.
In that case ... perhaps "the Stay/Injunction Docket"?
Not quite sure the distinction you're drawing there -- it's all interim in the sense that *in theory* it's supposed to be subject to change later in the litigation, e.g., after trial (or after full briefing & argument; or after a circuit split develops; etc.). Yet it very, very rarely is, in either context.
Yes it’s about stays/injunctions … pending appeal or certiorari. That latter fact is what make them requests for interim relief. And it is true that once the decision is made, sometimes the appeal or certiorari never happens.
Fingers crossed, but I think the link to the Interim Docket works now: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=6741778
Moreover, many of the most important decisions on this docket aren't "interim" at all but are, in effect, final.
