In its Conference of November 24, 2015, the Court will consider petitions seeking review of issues such as whether restrictions on occupational speech are subject to First Amendment scrutiny, whether the federal Bankruptcy Code preempts Puerto Rico statutory law, and whether one city’s ban on “assault weapons” violates the Second Amendment.

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.
