ON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF 
APPEALS FOR THE SECOND CIRCUIT

 [June 13, 2022]

 JUSTICE BARRETT delivered the opinion of the Court. 
Congress has long allowed federal courts to assist foreign
or international adjudicative bodies in evidence gathering. 
The  current  statute,  28  U. S. C.  §1782,  permits  district 
courts to order testimony or the production of evidence “for
use in a proceeding in a foreign or international tribunal.” 
These consolidated cases require us to decide whether pri-
vate adjudicatory bodies count as “foreign or international
tribunals.”  They do not.  The statute reaches only govern-
mental or intergovernmental adjudicative bodies, and nei-
ther of the arbitral panels involved in these cases fits that
bill.
