The Supreme Court said Tuesday it won’t hear a challenge to a Pennsylvania school system’s transgender bathroom policy, leaving in place rules that allow some transgender students to use restrooms and locker rooms of their preference. . . Scott Skinner-Thompson, a law professor at the University of Colorado, said the court’s move on Tuesday is consistent with federalism by deferring to a local school district policy rather than creating a national law.
“Both cases ultimately illustrate the court doesn’t want to get involved too quickly,” he said. “It wanted to give lower courts the first bite at the apple.”

The series brings scholars from across the country to St. John's Law to discuss their current research and receive feedback on their works in progress.
