The 2022-2023 term of the U.S. Supreme Court concluded in June, delivering significant rulings on subjects such as affirmative action, voting rights, and student debt relief. Yet, several other significant legal issues are brewing in the lower courts, potentially poised for review by the high court.

These conflicted decisions within the Circuit courts, particularly in reference to regulatory, bankruptcy, tort, and venue matters, suggest they may be on their way to resolution in the Supreme Court.
As the National Law Journal’s article offers a more comprehensive overview of these issues pending appeal, legal professionals keen to get an insight into the potential Supreme Court docket for the coming terms are advised to delve deeper into their coverage, even though access may be restricted behind a paywall.
