| Ala. Dept. of Revenue v. CSX Transp., Inc. | 575 U.S. 21 | March 4,2015 |
| In determining sales tax discrimination, courts must view the state's tax scheme as a whole rather than just the challenged provision. | ||

| Under the Securities Act of 1933, the issuer of a security is not liable for a statement of opinion simply because the stated opinion ultimately proves incorrect.

| Ala. Legislative Black Caucus v. Alabama | 575 U.S. 254 | March 25,2015 |

| Grady v. North Carolina | 575 U.S. 306 | March 30,2015 |
| North Carolina's nonconsensual satellite-based monitoring program, which it had ordered a recidivist sex offender to submit to for the rest of his life, constituted a search under the Fourth Amendment. The state's characterization of the monitoring program as civil was irrelevant, and that the program collected information was clear from the basic function of monitoring and the language of the authorizing statute. The lower court was directed to determine upon remand whether it constituted an unreasonable search. | ||
| Woods v. Donald | 575 U.S. 312 | March 30,2015 |
| Under United States v. Cronic , a defendant's Sixth Amendment rights are presumed to have been violated if they are denied counsel assistance during a critical stage of his trial. The lower court erred in granting federal habeas relief because Cronic and other established laws and cases by the Court have not yet specifically addressed the situation presented here: counsel is absent during testimony that only deals with the actions of the other co-defendants. | ||

| United States v. Kwai Fun Wong | 575 U.S. 402 | April 22,2015 |
| The statutes of limitations within the Federal Tort Claims Act are subject to equitable tolling because they have not been expressly tagged by Congress as jurisdictional. | ||

| The First Amendment does not prohibit States from barring judges and judicial candidates from personally soliciting funds for their election campaigns, provided the restriction on speech is narrowly tailored to serve a compelling interest. Supreme Court of Florida affirmed. | ||
| Mach Mining, LLC v. EEOC | 575 U.S. 480 | April 29,2015 |
| The EEOC can submit a sworn affidavit to show that it has completed the required conciliation process before suing for employment discrimination.

| Bullard v. Blue Hills Bank | 575 U.S. 496 | May 4,2015 |

| Coleman v. Tollefson | 575 U.S. 532 | May 18,2015 |
| 28 U.S.C. § 1915(g) prevents incarcerated people from proceeding in forma pauperis if three previous lawsuits have been dismissed on the grounds that it is frivolous, malicious, or fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted, even if an appeal is pending for one of those suits. | ||
| Comptroller of the Treasury v. Wynne | 575 U.S. 542 | May 18,2015 |

| Commil USA, LLC v. Cisco Systems, Inc. | 575 U.S. 632 | May 26,2015 |

| Elonis v. United States | 575 U.S. 723 | June 1,2015 |
| A court's instruction that requires only negligence with respect to the communication of a threat is not sufficient to support a conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 875(c). Third Circuit reversed and remanded. | ||

| There is no Supreme Court precedent under the Eighth Amendment that clearly establishes the right to adequate suicide prevention protocols for the incarcerated. The lower court instead determined that there was such a right based on its own precedent from only a single case, which would not have put anyone on notice of any possible constitutional violation. | ||
