Upcoming Supreme Court Cases to Make History
A Look at the Most Anticipated Cases of 2024
Get ready for a landmark year in law and politics
As the Supreme Court of the United States prepares to convene for its 2024 term, legal experts and political observers are eagerly anticipating a slate of cases that promise to make history. From high-profile disputes over abortion and LGBTQ rights to blockbuster clashes between state and federal authorities, this upcoming term is shaping up to be one of the most consequential and divisive in recent memory.
One of the most closely watched cases is Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which will revisit the court's landmark decision in Roe v. Wade and could potentially overturn the constitutional right to abortion established in that ruling. Another highly controversial case, 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis, will consider whether a web designer can refuse to provide services for same-sex couples based on religious objections.
In addition to these blockbuster cases, the court will also hear several other cases of major significance, including:
- Merrill v. Milligan, which will determine whether states can limit the use of race in college admissions
- Shurtleff v. Boston, which will address the constitutionality of a city's decision to fly a Christian flag outside its city hall
- Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, which will consider whether a public school football coach can lead prayers on the field after games
The upcoming Supreme Court term promises to be a watershed moment in American law and politics. The decisions that the court makes will have far-reaching implications for the future of reproductive rights, LGBTQ rights, religious freedom, and the balance of power between federal and state governments. Stay tuned for updates as these historic cases unfold.
