What Could the Supreme Court's Transgender Athlete Ruling Mean for Schools and Sports?

The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision soon in two closely watched cases involving transgender athletes, a ruling that could have significant implications for education, athletics, civil rights, and public policy across the country.

To help make sense of the decision, Seattle University School of Law will host its 4th Annual Rapid Response Livestream Event, bringing together leading legal scholars and practitioners for timely analysis shortly after the Court releases its opinion.

The discussion will be streamed live on YouTube and is open to all.

Our panel will examine:

  • The Court's reasoning and legal analysis
  • The implications for schools, athletic organizations, and government entities
  • Broader constitutional and policy considerations

The livestream will take place on the first workday following the Court's decision, giving you an opportunity to hear expert perspectives while the ruling is still making headlines.

Register today to:

  • Be notified as soon as the decision is released
  • Learn which experts will join the panel
  • Receive livestream details and reminders
  • Submit questions for discussion. You can also submit questions to rapidresponse@seattleu.edu.
