The US Supreme Court is set to address several significant cases that could shape the legal landscape. Among these, the Court will determine the burden of proof on Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) exemptions, a decision that could have wide-reaching implications for labor standards. Additionally, the Supreme Court will take on a reverse discrimination case, which could set new precedents in anti-discrimination law. The Second Circuit has ruled that a case challenging admissions policy changes for New York City's specialized high schools, brought by the Chinese American Citizens Alliance of Greater New York, can move forward, reinforcing that individuals, not racial groups, are at the heart of such legal considerations. This follows a circuit split set up by the 2nd Circuit's ruling on the PacificLegal Boston Latin case. Furthermore, the Supreme Court's decision to hear a retirement fee suit from Cornell workers suggests new precedents are coming that could harmonize circuit standards for pursuing prohibited transaction claims under federal benefits law.
