In its Conference of November 6, 2015, the Court will consider petitions seeking review of issues such as whether the Affordable Care Act’s contraceptive-coverage mandate violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, whether Texas’s restrictions on reproductive-health clinics constitute an “undue burden” on women seeking abortions, and whether Article III’s case or controversy requirement can be satisfied when the suit seeks a judgment of non-infringement of a disclaimed patent.

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.
