Docket number: No. 24-38 
On August 12, 2024, HLLI filed a brief of amici curiae on behalf of 35 athletic officials and coaches for female athletes in support of petitioners in Little v. Hecox, who are asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review a decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit enjoining an Idaho law that protecting women’s sports by limiting participation to biological women.
HLLI’s brief explains why women’s officials and coaches have not been more vocal on this issue until now, their unique perspective on why the law is necessary to protect against the rollback of women’s rights and their participation in sports to pre-Title IX levels, the significant benefits that athletic participation provides to girls and women that can only be achieved through single-sex sports, and first-hand experiences and observations relating to these issues.
HLLI also filed this brief in support of the State of West Virginia’s petition for a writ of certiorari in State of West Virginia v. B.P.J. seeking to uphold its own law intended to protect women’s sports.
