We’re back to summarize three more of the decisions the Court has issued in the last few weeks:


Read More Alexander v. South Carolina Conference of the NAACP (No. 22-807), Smith v. Spizzirri (No. 22-1218), Harrow v. Department of Defense (No. 23-21)

It’s the First Monday of June, meaning the Court’s about to step on the gas with respect to decisions. Despite the Court’s somewhat lethargic output to date, we’ve still managed to find ourselves buried beneath a pile of decisions. Here’s a quick run-down, beginning with the most recently decided:


Read More Consumer Financial Protection Bureau v. Community Financial Services Association of America, Ltd. (No. 22-448), National Rifle Association v. Vullo (No. 22-842), Warner Chappell Music, Inc. v. Nealy (No. 22-1078), and Culley v. Marshall (No. 22-585)

On May 9, 2024, Wiggin and Dana’s Supreme Court Update Authors Tadhg Dooley and David Roth, and Quinnipiac University Law School Professor of Law and SCOTUS blog contributor Stephen G. Gilles discussed the Supreme Court October term cases and themes thus far, and looked at the big decisions to come.

In a week that saw some of the most significant arguments of the term (including Trump v. United States, on the former president’s potential immunity from criminal prosecution), we’re back to summarize three outstanding decisions from last week:


Read More Rudisill v. McDonough (No. 22-888), Muldrow v. City of St. Louis (No. 22-193), McIntosh v. United States (No. 22-7386)

The Court’s been fairly busy over the last week-plus, issuing seven opinions and a number of notable orders. Unfortunately, we’ve also been fairly busy, and now must dig out of a seven-opinion hole. We’ll do that in two parts, making our way through four decisions today and the remainder next time.

So, read on for summaries of:


Read More DeVillier v. Texas (No. 22-913), Sheetz v. County of El Dorado (No. 22-1074), Bissonnette v. LePage Bakeries Park St. (No. 23-51), Macquarie Infrastructure Corp. v. Moab Partners (No. 22-1165)

We’re back to round up last week’s decisions.


Read More Lindke v. Freed (No. 22-611) and O’Connor-Ratcliff v. Garnier (No. 22-324), Wilkinson v. Garland (No. 22-666), FBI v. Firke (No. 22-1178)
