These cases have nationwide legal significance, but their direct connection to government policy remains borderline under the published scope.
| Case | Docket | Status | Why it remains under review | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warner Chappell Music, Inc. v. Nealy | 22-1078 | Potentially in scope | Interprets Copyright Act damages timing in a private infringement dispute; the nationwide statutory effect is material, but the direct government-policy connection is indirect. | Official opinion |
| Smith v. Spizzirri | 22-1218 | Potentially in scope | Requires a stay after compelling arbitration when requested, but the ruling primarily governs procedure in private arbitration disputes. | Official opinion |
| Great Lakes Ins. SE v. Raiders Retreat Realty Co. | 22-500 | Potentially in scope | Presumptively enforces choice-of-law clauses under federal maritime law, but the case centers on a private insurance contract rather than direct public policy. | Official opinion |
| Coinbase v. Suski | 23-3 | Potentially in scope | Allocates authority to decide arbitrability when private contracts conflict; the precedent is nationwide but its government-policy connection is indirect. | Official opinion |
This is not every federal lawsuit
The count covers identified federal cases that could materially change government policy, statutes, regulations, executive actions, election rules, expenditure authority, or governmental power. Routine private disputes and cases without an operative policy ruling are not counted as tracked.
