The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief in Norris v. Stanley, calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case and correct a misreading of Jacobson v. Massachusetts, which lower courts have over-interpreted to allow the government to use its police power to force people to get medical treatments. “The government is not the all-knowing purveyor of truth and should not be given deferential treatment when it wants to infringe on individual rights regarding medical treatments.”

The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief in Alliance for Fair Board Recruitment v. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), calling on the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to prohibit the SEC from forcing publicly traded companies to comply with arbitrary racial and gender quotas. In its brief, The Buckeye Institute argues that the SEC mandate that all publicly traded companies must allocate two board seats based on race or gender identity is beyond what Congress authorized.

The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief in Antonyuk v. James (previously Christian v. Nigrelli) on behalf of Project 21, a national network of black political, civic, and business leaders. In its brief, The Buckeye Institute calls on the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case and argues that New York’s Conceal Carry Improvement Act violates the constitutional right of the citizens of New York, particularly black New Yorkers, to keep and bear arms.
