Perhaps the most impactful U.S. Supreme Court cases this year in the education law sector will be the first two scheduled during the court’s November sitting. On Oct. 31, the court will hear two cases challenging affirmative action in university admissions: Students for Fair Admissions v. President & Fellows of Harvard and Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina, notably brought by the same anti-affirmative action group, Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA).

Though the cases will be argued on the same day, they are not consolidated so Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson can participate in the UNC case. Jackson previously sat on the Harvard Board of Overseers and has therefore recused herself from that case.
