The Supreme Court is set to hand down key decisions this week on student debt relief, affirmative action and federal election laws as it enters the last week of its summer session with 10 cases pending.
The court has given no indication it will break its norm of finishing decisions by the end of June, and the next batch is slated to be released Tuesday morning.
Beyond the decisions, the court is also forming its docket for the next term. The justices Monday could announce whether they will take up several high-profile cases, including on guns, racial discrimination and qualified immunity.
Here are the remaining cases as the Supreme Court wraps up its annual term:
Student Debt Relief
President Bidenâs plan to forgive student debt for more than 40 million borrowers will soon be greenlighted or blocked, depending on how the justices rule.
Bidenâs plan would forgive up to $10,000 for borrowers who meet income requirements and up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients.
But the debt relief remains on hold until the Supreme Court resolves two lawsuits challenging the plan.
If either succeeds, the debt relief will be blocked.
During oral arguments, the conservative majority cast doubt that the administration had the authority to cancel the debts, expected to amount to hundreds of billions of dollars.
But before they can strike down the plan as unlawful, the justices must first decide whether any of the challengers have legal standing.
The six GOP-led states and two individual borrowers challenging the plan have promoted various arguments.
