SkyWest, Inc., et al. v. Andrea Hirst, et al.

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, No. 17-3643, 17-3660 · judgment December 12, 2018

Certiorari denied · June 24, 2019
Pre-decision estimate: 14% cert probability (95% interval 8%–23%)

Before the decision, about 3.5× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for counsel who has won certiorari before, a petition filed soon after the judgment below, and a dissent in the court below (flagged in the petition).

Questions presented

  1. Is a state law exempt from the Dormant Commerce Clause merely because it does not discriminate against interstate commerce?

  2. Is a state law exempt from the Dormant Commerce Clause merely because Congress has passed a federal statute saving the law from preemption under that statute?
