Question: What does c.v.s.g. mean? This opinion says a party filed for a writ of certiorari, c.v.s.g.
Answer: Library staff guessed that it meant something like "cert. vacated, something granted," but were wrong! After consulting Bieber's Dictionary of Legal Abbreviations and Westlaw's SCT database without finding the answer, the librarian searched for "c.v.s.g." in the TP-ALL database on Westlaw. There were several articles about Supreme Court procedure with references to CVSG – which means “calling for the views of the Solicitor General.” Mystery solved!
