RumbergerKirk Attorney Jeffrey Grosholz Discusses U.S. Supreme Court Case at First District Appellate American Inn of Court
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (November 2026) – RumbergerKirk attorney Jeffrey J. Grosholz participated as a speaker in the First District Appellate American Inn of Court’s U.S. Supreme Court Term Preview on November 5, 2026. The event was held at Florida’s First District Court of Appeal in Tallahassee.
Grosholz, who is Board Certified in Education Law by The Florida Bar, discussed St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy, a First Amendment case argued before the U.S. Supreme Court on November 3, 2026.
The case concerns a Free Exercise Clause challenge to Colorado’s universal preschool program. The program requires participating education providers to sign a nondiscrimination agreement mandating they enroll students regardless of the student or their families’ sexual orientation or gender identity. At issue is the level of scrutiny such a mandate is subjected to, and whether it unconstitutionally singles out religious institutions.
The case raises questions about the intersection of religious freedom and nondiscrimination protections, with potential implications for similar nondiscrimination provisions that appear facially neutral but may disparately impact religious entities. Grosholz’s participation reflects RumbergerKirk’s commitment to professional engagement and meaningful discussion of emerging legal developments affecting the firm’s clients and the broader legal community.
