Supreme Court Begins 2026-2027 Term, to Hear Cases on ERISA, DOL Penalties, and Title IX

The U.S. Supreme Court has commenced its 2026-2027 term, with several cases of interest to employers already on its docket. These include a review of pleading standards for imprudent investments under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), a case questioning whether the Constitution prohibits the Department of Labor's administrative law judges from imposing monetary penalties for H-2A violations, and an examination of whether employees of federally funded educational institutions can pursue employment discrimination claims under Title IX instead of Title VII.
