Overview

• The Court granted review in First Choice Women’s Resource Centers v. Platkin and will hear arguments during its October term.
• At issue is whether the crisis pregnancy center can challenge New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin’s 2023 subpoena in federal court.
• Platkin’s subpoena seeks donor identities and a decade of internal communications as part of a consumer fraud and misleading practices probe.
• First Choice, represented by Alliance Defending Freedom and supported by conservative groups, argues the demand chills its free speech and donor confidentiality.
• Platkin’s office contends the investigation is lawful and that constitutional claims should be adjudicated first in New Jersey courts.
