- Key gun rights cases will examine whether bans on semiautomatic rifles like the AR-15 violate the Second Amendment, potentially expanding gun rights further.
- Voting rights cases will address proof-of-citizenship requirements for voter registration, with implications for election laws nationwide amid debates over voter suppression and fraud.
- Transgender rights and parental authority will be scrutinized in cases involving emergency shelter policies for transgender youth and school policies on outing transgender students.
- Immigration cases will revisit Trump-era detention policies and asylum rules, while a climate change case could limit local governments' ability to sue fossil fuel companies for environmental damages.
