In its Conference of January 15, 2016, the Court will consider petitions considering issues such as Texas’s challenge to the Obama administration’s policy of deferring deportation action for certain undocumented immigrants, whether the Full Faith and Credit Clause permits a court to deny recognition to an adoption judgment previously issued by a court from a sister state, and whether a provision of the Affordable Care Act that requires individuals to “maintain insurance coverage or make a provision to the Internal Revenue Service” is a “Bill[] for raising Revenue” to which the Origination Clause applies.

This edition of “Petitions to watch” features petitions raising issues that Tom has determined to have a reasonable chance of being granted, although we post them here without consideration of whether they present appropriate vehicles in which to decide those issues.  Our policy is to include and disclose all cases in which Goldstein & Russell, P.C., whose attorneys contribute to this blog in various capacities, represents either a party or an amicus in the case, with the exception of the rare cases in which Goldstein & Russell represents the respondent(s) but does not appear on the briefs in the case.
