The brief is related to a group of three cases that the high court will hear in its upcoming term related to LGBTQ discrimination in the workplace. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin, File)

Today, the Supreme Court returned to the bench for a comprehensive agenda that will handle tariffs, LGBTQ rights and free speech cases. Until decisions are announced, students and the general public wait to feel their effects.
