gave authority for organizing the parade over to the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council, a group of unincorporated private citizens selected from a variety of Boston veterans' groups - the only group to apply for a permit until 1992. That year, the Irish-American Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Group of Boston (GLIB) requested that it be allowed to march in the parade alongside the usual participating groups. GLIB argued that it was not a group primarily aimed at conveying a "gay, lesbian, and bisexual message." In 1995, Judge Wolf ruled that the South Boston Allied War Veterans Council could prohibit participation by those who endorsed that political stance as an exercise of the organizers' free speech under the First Amendment, and encouraged GLIB to organize its own parade. He ordered the city of Boston to issue the parade permit, which it had been threatening to withhold, to South Boston Allied War Veterans Council. In a related case,

. In 1998, Wolf ordered the FBI to divulge that Bulger and Flemmi were top echelon FBI informants. Following 9 months of hearings, Wolf issued a 661-page decision finding that the FBI had not investigated Bulger and Flemmi for serious crimes, including murder; it had warned Bulger and Flemmi when other federal agencies were investigating them; it told Bulger and Flemmi of informants against them who were, as a result, killed; and it told Bulger and Flemmi that they were about to be charged so they could flee, which Bulger did. Although Flemmi had not been granted immunity from FBI prosecution, Wolf decided that the information he had provided could not be used against him. The ruling was reversed by the Court of Appeals, but the defendants, except Bulger who was a fugitive, eventually pled guilty. Several years later, investigators found a grave in Boston with the bodies of three of Bulger’s victims. Bulger was finally apprehended in 2011, convicted, and sentenced to serve life in prison, where he was murdered. In an editorial,

(FDPA) is unconstitutional because of the mounting evidence that innocent individuals have been sentenced to death, and undoubtedly executed, more often than previously understood." Nevertheless, Wolf held that declaring the FDPA unconstitutional was not legally justified. In sentencing Sampson to life in prison, Wolf said:  "You personify the wisdom of he poet Auden who wrote“Evil is unspectacular and always human … And shares our bed and eats at our own table.”" He later added that "By committing horrific crimes that virtually compelled decent people in this community to condemn you to die, you have diminished, if not degraded, us all." After discovering that a juror had lied to be selected to serve, Judge Wolf vacated Sampson's sentence and ordered a new trial. Parker v. Hurley (2007) In 2007, Judge Wolf ruled that religiously motivated parents do not have a constitutional right to exempt their elementary school children from teaching on homosexuality and same-sex marriage, finding that there was no evidence of extreme indoctrination that might constitute a form of coercion. In his opinion he wrote that "public schools are entitled to teach anything that… helps students become engaged in democracy… reduces future discrimination… teaches young children to understand and respect others… ndmakes homosexual students feel more comfortable."

also endorsed the IACC. In May 2022, nearly 300 world leaders, including more than 30 Nobel laureates, more than 40 former presidents and prime ministers, from over 80 countries, signed a Declaration in support of establishing the IACC. The proposed IACC would enforce existing national anti-corruption laws, or a new international counterpart to them, against kleptocrats and their conspirators. The IACC would be a court of last resort. Operating on the principle of complementarity, it would only prosecute if a member state were unwilling or unable to prosecute a case itself. Prosecution in the IACC would, in many cases, result in the incarceration of convicted kleptocrats and thus create the opportunity for the democratic process to replace them with honest leaders. The IACC would also have the potential to recover, repurpose, and repatriate stolen assets through sentences that include orders of restitution in criminal cases and judgments in civil cases brought by whistleblowers, a small portion of which would be used to fund the Court itself. The IACC would need 20 to 25 representative countries to be effective as long as they include some financial centers through which kleptocrats often launder the proceeds of corruption, and countries in which kleptocrats invest and spend their wealth. In addition to the IACC, Wolf and III have supported national anti-corruption efforts, such as the High Anti-Corruption Court in Ukraine, for which Wolf has provided expert recommendations and mentored Ukrainian judges.
