1. Pocohontas, who is pregnant, seeks to challenge a state statute restricting the right to an abortion in the first trimester. By the time the case reaches the U.S. Supreme Court, Pocohontas is, surprisingly enough, no longer pregnant. Is the issue moot?

2. Jesse James, tried and convicted by the state of Wildwest for bank robbery, attacks the constitutionality of his conviction. Because of a backlog in cases in the federal courts, Jesse has served his time and is released by the time the Supreme Court receives his writ of certiorari. Will the Supreme Court avoid review on the grounds of mootness?
