The Local Government Legal Center will host a free webinar on Oct. 31 to discuss the upcoming U.S. Supreme Court term and cases relevant to local governments.
In the coming term, the court is expected to rule on issues including:
• A possible new standard for employment liability under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
• Whether a public official’s social media account can constitute state action for the purposes of the First Amendment
• Whether the Supreme Court should overrule Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council, which relates to deference that courts should give administrative agencies
• Whether firearm regulations prohibiting individuals subject to domestic violence restraining orders violate the Second Amendment
The webinar will be held from 1 to 2 p.m. For more information and to register, visit the webinar registration page.
The Local Government Legal Center is a coalition of national local government organizations formed in 2023 by the National Association of Counties, the National League of Cities, the International Municipal Lawyers Association, and the Government Finance Officers Association. The center aims to educate local governments about the Supreme Court and its impact on local governments and local officials, and to advocate for local government positions at the Supreme Court in appropriate cases.
