Recent Decisions


May 14, 2026
         
Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC (24-1238)
A claim that one company negligently hired another to transport goods is not preempted by the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act because States retain authority to regulate safety “with respect to motor vehicles” under the Act. 49 U. S. C. §14501(c)(2)(A).

         
Jules v. Andre Balazs Properties (25-83)
A federal court that has previously stayed claims in a pending action under §3 of the Federal Arbitration Act has jurisdiction to confirm or vacate a resulting arbitral award on those claims as prescribed in §9 and §10 of the Act.



April 29, 2026
         
First Choice Women’s Resource Centers, Inc. v. Davenport (24-781)
In a 42 U. S. C. §1983 suit challenging a subpoena issued by the New Jersey Attorney General demanding documents and donor information, First Choice has established a present injury to its First Amendment associational rights sufficient to confer Article III standing.

         
Louisiana v. Callais (24-109)
Because the Voting Rights Act of 1965, 52 U. S. C. §10301 et seq., did not require Louisiana to create an additional majority-minority district, no compelling interest justified the State’s use of race in creating SB8, and that map is an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.



April 22, 2026
         
Enbridge Energy, LP v. Nessel (24-783)
Because 28 U. S. C. §1446(b)(1)’s text, structure, and context are inconsistent with equitable tolling, Enbridge’s removal of the case to federal court outside the statute’s 30-day deadline was untimely.

         
Hencely v. Fluor Corp. (24-924)
The Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit erred in finding Winston Hencely’s state-law tort claims preempted where the Federal Government neither ordered nor authorized Fluor Corporation’s challenged conduct.

An Honorary Degree for the Honorable Earl Warren


Every spring, universities across the country bestow honorary doctorates upon a handful of individuals in recognition of their societal contributions. Supreme Court Justices began receiving such degrees as early as 1790, when the newly appointed Justice James Wilson was honored by the University of Pennsylvania. A century and a half later, in 1956, Chief Justice Earl Warren was awarded this honorary Doctor of Laws hood by that very same university. Academic institutions large and small presented Chief Justice Warren with at least 72 honorary degrees throughout the course of his life.
