On Wednesday, September 10th, the Supreme Court denied South Carolina’s emergency request to enforce a school trans bathroom ban against one trans high schooler, allowing him to use the restroom aligned with his gender identity as the case continues. Correia & Puth represents John Doe, who is a current ninth grader living in Berkeley County, South Carolina, and now – pursuant to the Supreme Court’s ruling – can use school bathrooms consistent with his gender identity. The case remains at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, which will consider and rule on the merits of the case.
