Supreme Court Begins New Term with Major Cases
The U.S. Supreme Court formally began its new term on Monday, September 2024, with a docket featuring high-profile cases on climate change, gun rights, immigration policy, voting rights, and religious liberty. The term includes multiple appeals from the Trump administration and other consequential constitutional disputes expected to reshape major policy areas.

Several outlets highlight potential Supreme Court retirements as a factor to watch.
Center outlets present a balanced overview of the five major cases and their potential to reshape American law, including voting rights, Second Amendment disputes, and climate lawsuits, without emphasizing partisan implications.
Right-leaning outlets frame the term's major cases—including climate, Second Amendment rights, and election integrity disputes—as opportunities to reshape constitutional law and American institutions through judicial decision-making.
