United States v. Steven T. Marshall, Attorney General of Alabama, et al.

Paid petition · United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, No. 22-11707 · judgment August 21, 2023


Dismissed · February 13, 2025
Pre-decision estimate: 17% cert probability (95% interval 10%–27%)

Before the decision, about 4.1× the 4.1% base rate. The model weighted this up for a federal-government petitioner, counsel who has won certiorari before, and an Eleventh Circuit decision below, and down for a state or local-government respondent.

Question presented

Code § 26-26-4 (2022), violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. (I)
