State v. Rudy Nino Parras

Will consider whether state "felon in possession" law, as applied to defendants with prior drug felonies, violates the Oregon Constitution’s “right to bear arms” clause or the Second Amendment.

Connor v. Oklahoma

Reversed a district court’s denial of the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission’s motion to dismiss a discrimination claim brought by the former general counsel of the commission. The commission claimed she failed to comply with the notice provisions of the Governmental Tort Claims Act, but the lower court had found conflicts between that act and state anti-discrimination statutes meant the notice requirements did not apply. The Oklahoma high court, reaffirming that the liability limitations in the act apply to both constitutional torts and statutes, said no irreconcilable conflicts exist.

Wasserman v. Franklin County

Vet Voice Foundation v. Hobbs

Washington Supreme Court held requirement that election workers verify voter signatures on mail ballots, when coupled with the state’s recently expanded process for notifying voters and providing an opportunity to cure when a signature mismatch is identified, does not facially violate the state constitution’s free and equal elections, privileges and immunities, or due process clause.

State v. Hicks

McCarty v. Missouri Secretary of State

Will consider whether to set aside an approved ballot measure increasing the state's minimum wage and providing paid sick leave, based on alleged irregularities with the measure's "fiscal note summary" and summary, and alleged violations of state constitutional "single-subject" requirements and equal protection.
