SCOTUS 2024-2025 term — cases worth following closely

Michael Chen

The current SCOTUS term has several cases that seem likely to have broad practice implications regardless of what area you're in. Wanted to start a thread for tracking the ones worth following.

Administrative law: After the Loper Bright decision overruling Chevron last term, this term has follow-on questions about how far the deference rollback goes — particularly in the context of agency enforcement discretion and retroactivity of prior agency interpretations.

Fourth Amendment / digital privacy: The Court continues to develop the third-party doctrine in the digital context. The trajectory since Carpenter suggests ongoing recalibration that affects everything from criminal defense to civil discovery of third-party held data.

ERISA preemption: There's a case this term on the scope of ERISA preemption of state law claims that could significantly affect healthcare law and benefits litigation if the Court narrows preemption.

Anyone tracking cases in specific practice areas? Happy to have a running thread where we can note argument dates and early reactions to the opinions as they come down.
