WASHINGTON, D.C. — The Supreme Court of the United States has issued rulings in 39 cases during the 2025-2026 term as of June 1, 2026. Twenty-six cases remain under deliberation by the Court as of that date.

Among the decisions released is Jules v. Andre Balazs Properties, argued on March 30, 2026. The Court issued a unanimous opinion affirming the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and held that Sections 9 and 10 of the Federal Arbitration Act grant federal courts jurisdiction to confirm or vacate an arbitration award on a pending claim under Section 3 of the same act.

In Montgomery v. Caribe Transport II, LLC, argued on March 4, 2026, the Supreme Court issued a 9-0 opinion reversing and remanding the judgment of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. The Court held that the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act of 1994 did not preempt a negligent-hiring claim against a freight broker because it fell within the statute’s safety exception.

The Court also ruled in Havana Docks Corporation v. Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd., argued on February 23, 2026. In an 8-1 decision, the justices vacated and remanded the Eleventh Circuit’s judgment, holding that Royal Caribbean Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, Carnival Corporation, and MSC Cruises’ use of Havana Docks establishes that they used “property which was confiscated by the Cuban Government.” The Court further held that Havana Docks is not required to establish that the cruise lines used their property.

Other rulings include M & K Employee Solutions, LLC v. Trustees of the IAM National Pension Fund, decided after argument on January 20, 2026. The Court unanimously affirmed the D.C. Circuit, holding that the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 does not require pension plans to assess withdrawal liability based on actuaries’ assumptions adopted before the measurement date.

The Court issued a per curiam opinion in Hamm v. Smith (2025), dismissing the case as improvidently granted following argument on December 10, 2025. In Margolin v. National Association of Immigration Judges, decided without argument, the Court unanimously reversed and remanded the Fourth Circuit’s decision.

Additional rulings include a unanimous affirmance in Flowers Foods, Inc. v. Brock, which held that a worker who transports goods on an intrastate leg of an interstate journey can qualify for §1’s exemption under the Federal Arbitration Act without crossing state lines or interacting with vehicles that do. The Court also affirmed Fernandez v. United States in an 8-1 decision, concluding that the compassionate release provision (18 U.S.C. § 3582(c)(1)(A)) cannot be used to attack the validity of a conviction. In Rutherford v. United States, the Court issued a 6-3 affirmance, holding that compassionate release is only available when a court finds that “extraordinary and compelling reasons warrant” a sentence reduction and that sentencing disparity alone cannot constitute such a reason. The Court issued a 5-4 reversal in Pitchford v. Cain, remanding the Fifth Circuit’s judgment, and decided Whitton v. Dixon without argument on June 1, 2026.
