The U.S. Supreme Court handles countless petitions each term, although only a few catch the public’s attention. Recently, Law360 has brought to light four notable petitions filed in the past fortnight likely overlooked due to the sheer volume of cases reviewed by the court.
Among the submissions worthy of mention are cases that challenge the sanctions imposed on attorneys as a result of frivolous legal confrontations during the 2020 presidential election. Also in the spotlight are petitions probing into the constitutionality of New York’s licensing requirements for remote talk therapists. In addition, questions surrounding the adherence to due process in Title IX disciplinary proceedings have also surfaced.
The discussed petitions present significant implications in their respective areas of legal concern from the sanctions on attorneys to the regulation of virtual therapeutic treatment and Title IX implementations. The implications of these various petitions as they move through the court system could result in substantial changes to present practices and processes within these areas.
