Havana Docks Corporation, Petitioner v. Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd., et al.

24-983

May 21, 2026

Cuban property owners seek damages from cruise lines that use property confiscated by the Cuban government, under the Helms-Burton Act. The case tests the scope of liability for 'trafficking' in confiscated Cuban property.

M & K Employee Solutions, LLC, et al., Petitioners v. Trustees of the IAM National Pension Fund

23-1209

May 21, 2026

The Court is considering a dispute under the Multiemployer Pension Plan Amendments Act about withdrawal liability. The case addresses how pension funds calculate the amount employers must pay when they withdraw from multiemployer pension plans.

John Q. Hamm, Commissioner, Alabama Department of Corrections, Petitioner v. Joseph Clifton Smith

24-872

May 21, 2026

The Court is deciding how to assess intellectual disability claims in death penalty cases when a defendant has taken multiple IQ tests with varying results. The case could affect how states evaluate Eighth Amendment protections against executing intellectually disabled individuals.

Adrian Jules, Petitioner v. Andre Balazs Properties, et al.

25-83

May 14, 2026

After Adrian Jules sued his former employer and related parties in federal court, the case was sent to arbitration and stayed. The Supreme Court is reviewing whether the same federal court can later hear a request to confirm or vacate the arbitration award even if the court would not otherwise have an independent basis for federal jurisdiction at that stage.

Shawn Montgomery, Petitioner v. Caribe Transport II, LLC, et al.

24-1238

May 14, 2026

After Shawn Montgomery was seriously injured in a highway crash involving a truck hired to carry a shipment, he sued the freight broker that chose the motor carrier, claiming the broker negligently selected an unsafe carrier or driver. The Supreme Court is addressing whether federal law governing motor carriers and brokers wipes out that kind of state-law negligence claim against a broker.

Louisiana, Appellant v. Phillip Callais, et al.

24-109

Apr 29, 2026

The Court decided Louisiana v. Callais on April 29, 2026, affirming and remanding a ruling that struck down Louisiana's SB8 congressional map as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. The Court held that Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, properly construed, did not require Louisiana to create an additional majority-minority district, so the state had no compelling interest for using race to draw District 6.
