When the Business of the Supreme Court is Business: A Summary of Recent Business Law SCOTUS Opinions from the ABA

By Pete Elliott, Indiana Commercial Court

In the past few terms, the United States Supreme Court has weighed in on several cases that impact the practice of business law. Writing for the American Bar Association, attorneys Stuart Riback of Wilk Auslander LLP and Armeen Mistry of Troutman Pepper have provided a brief overview of some of the key decisions issued by the Supreme Court during its 2019-2020 term.

Riback and Mistry identified three broad themes as takeaways from the Supreme Court's rulings: textualism, separation and limitation of powers under the United States Constitution and civil procedure. Riback and Mistry’s brief overview of these themes provides a good primer on some of the major business cases taken up the Supreme Court recently. You can read their overview of the decisions here.
