Laufer has filed similar lawsuits against more than 600 hotels for web pages she found were"insufficiently clear" regarding accessible accommodations.
The high court will also consider on Oct. 11 a lower court's decision that found South Carolina's congressional map was racially gerrymandered in Alexander v.

One of the districts implicated in the dispute is Charleston County, which is represented by Mace. The case will be decided ahead of the 2024 elections at a time when control of the closely divided House of Representatives will be on the ballot.
