Decision Days

By Kent Scheidegger et al.

Today is the last day of oral arguments for the U.S. Supreme Court's current term. The term calendar shows "non-argument sessions" (in blue) on Monday of each week from now to June, except Memorial Day. The session is Tuesday that week. Conference days are Thursdays. Looking at the opinion dates for last term, we see that 40 opinions were issued after the conclusion of oral arguments. Of these, 31 were issued on the scheduled non-argument session days, and 9 were issued on Thursdays: June 14, 21, and 28. There are 36 argued cases remaining undecided in the current term.
