Younge v. Fulton Judicial Circuit District Attorney’s Office

On June 15, 2026, WLF asked the Supreme Court to clarify that, when resolving the procedural question in a discrimination case, it is not disturbing the well-established ‘forfeiture of forfeiture’ rule or reviewing courts’ discretion to consider forfeited issues on the merits. WLF contends that procedural rules promote orderly litigation only when properly invoked by the parties, and that sua sponte judicial action on forfeiture violates the party-presentation principle. WLF’s brief was drafted with the generous pro bono assistance of John Querio, Justin R. Sarno, and Jasjaap S. Sidhu of Horvitz & Levy LLP.
