This week we highlight petitions pending before the Supreme Court that address, among other things, the reasonableness of an officer’s suspicion that the registered owner of a vehicle is the person driving the vehicle, a public school’s interest in authorizing students “who believe themselves to be members of the opposite sex” to use locker rooms and restrooms reserved exclusively for the opposite sex, and whether a federal court should abstain from resolving a request to compel arbitration when a state court has already ruled on that request.
Issues: (1) Whether a party opposing arbitration on the ground of waiver by litigation conduct must prove that it was prejudiced by the other party’s waiver; and (2) whether a federal court should abstain from resolving a request to compel arbitration when a state court has already ruled on that request.
