On the Docket: The Top 4 SCOTUS Cases to Follow in 2015
January 2, 2015 * by Brianna Kovan * Ms. Blog

The Supreme Court’s 2014-2015 term—which began on Oct. 6—will conclude near the end of June 2015. After a year of decisions that narrowed women’s reproductive and economic rights, the current term provides the justices ample opportunities to right their wrongs (that is, if they can see past their egregious “blind spot” for women’s rights).
Below, take a look at a list of cases already on the docket that could have a big impact for women.


On the Docket
(1) Pregnant Workers’ Rights and Employment Discrimination
(2) Free Speech vs. Threats
(3) Employer Discrimination Protocol
(4) Clarifying Police Right to Search or Seizure

Potential cases
(1) Marriage Equality
(2) Contraceptive Coverage
(3) TRAP Laws

6. Good catch.

Now that you mention it, I do seem to recall hearing about this in late Dec.

Not sure how the author of the article missed noticing this, since the article is
dated yesterday, Jan 2, 2015
