Supreme Court to open next term with major climate change case

The Supreme Court’s next term will begin in October with major cases about costly climate change lawsuits and immigration.

The high court announced the cases it will hear in the first month of its upcoming term, as the justices remain off the bench for their annual summer break. The Supreme Court will return Oct. 5, when it hears arguments in Suncor Energy v. County Commissioners of Boulder County and Johnson v. United States Congress, a case about a veterans’ benefits dispute.
