Carson v. Makin (Docket 20–1009) is a pending United States Supreme Court case related to the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996.

Background

Many towns in Maine do not have public school districts. The state provides a tuition assistance program for residents of those localities to send their children to private schools, but sectarian schools are excluded. The Institute for Justice represents two families challenging the exclusion of sectarian schools from the program.[1]

Supreme Court

Certiorari was granted in the case on May 17, 2021.
