Federal Judiciary

Today at the Supreme Court | 12.2.08

By Akin Gump Supreme Court Practice Group

At 10 a.m., the Court may issue one or more opinions in pending cases. We will provide coverage of any developments.

Following the announcement of any rulings, the Court will hear argument in Entergy Corp. v. EPA (07-588) and two consolidated cases, on the regulation of cooling water intake structures under the Clean Water Act. Deputy Solicitor General Daryl Joseffer will argue for the EPA in support of the petitioners; Maureen Mahoney of Washington, D.C., will argue for the petitioner; and current Harvard Law School professor Richard Lazarus will argue for the respondent.

At 11 a.m., the Court will hear argument in Fitzgerald, et vir v. Barnstable School Committee, et al. (07-1125), on whether the passage of Title IX barred future constitutionally based gender discrimination claims against federally funded schools. Charles Rothfeld of Washington, D.C., will argue for the petitioner, and Kay Hodge of Boston will argue for the respondent.

We will post links to transcripts of the arguments as soon as they are available.
