This morning the Supreme Court heard two cases about the proper standards for evaluating whether race predominated in crafting political districts in Bethune-Hill v. Virginia State Board of Elections and McCrory v. Harris. On Tuesday the Court considers the scope of worldwide liability for patent infringement, specifically, whether including a component shipped from the United States as part of an infringing multi-product item is enough to trigger liability for all worldwide sales of the product. And then on Wednesday, the Court turns to bankruptcy law, hearing argument about whether a bankruptcy court can authorize distribution of settlement proceeds in a way that violates the statutory priority scheme. The Court has yet to schedule additional arguments for this Term, so these will be the last arguments for at least a couple of months.
