Tap title to read story

The US Supreme Court heard arguments in A.J.T. v. Osseo Area Schools, a case concerning liability for school districts discriminating against disabled students. A heated exchange occurred between Justice Gorsuch and attorney Lisa Blatt, with Blatt accused of misrepresenting her client's position. The justices debated whether a heightened "bad faith" standard applies to all disability claims against schools or just those involving educational services. The court seemed hesitant to address the broader question, concerned about a lack of briefing and potential confusion for lower courts. The case highlights the complexities of disability law and the varying standards applied in educational settings.
