When the Supreme Court handed down its two recent final decisions, one in a major voting laws dispute and the other addressing a donor disclosure requirement, both were considered victories for conservatives — and both were reversals of the country's most controversial appellate court.

That court, the San Francisco-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, saw some of the most high-profile reversals of judgments in the tumultuous year for Supreme Court cases. The 9th Circuit went 1-15, adding to a string of losing records to the high court, according to SCOTUSblog.

Its only decision left standing was a unanimous Supreme Court affirmation that some of the NCAA's player compensation regulations violated anti-trust laws.
