The Supreme Court has granted a writ of certiorari in Lucia v. SEC, meaning they will hear the case. Lucia concerns whether Administrative Law Judges (ALJs) as presently appointed are constitutional. The Trump Administration is arguing that they aren't. I don't know enough about Supreme Court operations to know whether the case will be heard this term or the next. This term would mean a decision this year. Next term would mean a decision next year.
The case will be heard this term - looks like in April 2018, but the exact date for oral arguments has not yet been scheduled. Means that the decision will be released by the end of June 2018 at the latest before the court goes on recess.
