| Abstract: | This article discusses concerns about how Neil M. Gorsuch, a U.S. Supreme Court nominee, might influence decisions regarding cases involving the appropriate scope of services guaranteed by federal special-education law, government aid to religious institutions providing educational services, and how intellectual property law applies to sports uniform design and other education-related decisions. After reviewing roughly two dozen of the major cases in which Gorsuch has ruled, the author states that he found Gorsuch's work to be sensible, law-bound, and quite readable. In this article, the author sketches out some features of Gorsuch's jurisprudence and describes specific decisions with relevance for education. The following topics are discussed: (1) similarities and differences with Antonin Scalia; (2) education decisions; and (3) key decisions outside education. |
