The Legal Year
The term is also the name of the first of four terms into which the legal year is divided by the Courts of England and Wales. While the name is not used in the United States court systems, the United States Supreme Court nevertheless follows the custom by beginning its year-long term on the first Monday in October, a date which generally coincides with Michaelmas.
