I recently published a paper [34 Fla. St. U. L. Rev. 161 (2006)], motivated by proposals to impose term limits for Supreme Court Justices, that examines the claim that the decline in the number of cases accepted for review and the number of opinions issued per term by the Court is partially attributable to the increased longevity and terms of service of the Justices. On the whole, I did not find clear support for the claim.
