The U.S. Supreme Court enters what is likely the final week of its term with a handful of cases remaining, including a closely watched one on Arizona ballot restrictions.
All eyes, too, will be on Justice Stephen Breyer sometime after the last opinion is delivered to see if he retires, as progressives are pressuring him to do.
Bloomberg Law’s “Cases and Controversies” podcast will dive into what’s ahead and what the court did this past week in siding with student free speech and NCAA athletes in two big decisions.
In Mahanoy Area School Dist. v. B. L., the Supreme Court ruled 8-1 in favor of high-school cheerleader Brandi Levy. It said her school went too far in suspending Levy from her cheer squad after her Snapchat rant about not making varsity.
And the court unanimously ruled in favor of college athletes in NCAA v. Alston, saying schools can’t conspire to deny students education-related compensation in the name of preserving “amateurism.”
Podcast hosts Kimberly Robinson and Jordan Rubin provide the details on decisions and look at what’s coming up.
