The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief in Herrera v. Raoul, urging the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case and re-affirm its ruling in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen and overturn Illinois’ ban on the sale, purchase, and possession of certain rifles and standard capacity magazines. “In the wake of Bruen, lawmakers, litigants, and judges are debating how the ruling should apply. But as courts consider the cases brought before them, they are still bound by precedent.” 

The Buckeye Institute joined the National Federation of Independent Business on its amicus brief in Metal Conversion Technologies v. U.S. Department of Transportation, calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case and confirm that government agencies must follow the principle of “equitable tolling,” which is a well-established principle in the country’s courts, except in “administrative law” where the longstanding doctrine is often ignored.

The Buckeye Institute filed its second amicus brief in Allstates Refractory Contractors v. Su (previously Allstates Refractory Contractors v. Walsh), calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to hear the case and protect worker and workplace safety by requiring Congress to give clear direction to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) on how to regulate safety in the workplace. The Manhattan Institute joined The Buckeye Institute in filing the brief.

The Buckeye Institute filed an amicus brief in Starbucks v. McKinney, calling on the U.S. Supreme Court to abide by centuries of jurisprudence and consider the harm to both the employer and employee when deciding whether to grant a preliminary injunction. “When the National Labor Relations Board sues a private company, the government should not get special treatment on its request for a preliminary injunction.”
