U.S. Supreme Court justices returned to the bench today with a docket of cases scrutinizing presidential powers, the Trump tariffs, transgender school sports bans, conversion therapy, the Voting Rights Act, gun limits and election finance. Today, the justices heard arguments in two cases: whether lawyers can be barred from speaking to their clients in certain situations and whether state limits on malpractice actions apply in federal court. Tomorrow, they will consider the legality of a Colorado law that bans so-called conversion therapy, which is intended to change a minor's sexual orientation or gender identity. SCOTUSblog has a roundup of today’s actions, including a review of cases that the court accepted for the 2025-2026 term and those it declined to accept for review.
