According to the "Chief Justice's Year-End Reports on the Federal Judiciary" for 2009, approximately 80% of petitions for writ of certiorari also file a motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. Only 20% of the cases are filed in the Supreme Court's paid docket.2008 Petitions:6,142 in forma pauperis docket (79.4%)1,596 paid docket (20.6)7,738 total 20082007 Petitions:6,527 in forma pauperis docket (80.4%)1,614 paid docket (19.6%)8,241 total 2007Approximately 50% of the petitions granted cert originate in the in forma pauperis docket; however, since the pool of cases for that docket it much larger than for the paid docket, paid cases are statistically more likely to be accepted on appeal.
What is the difference between a petition for a Writ of Certiorari and motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis?
Both involve requests to the US Supreme Court.A petition for a writ of certiorari (Latin: to be informed of) is a request that the Court review a case on appeal, an action initiated when the Supreme Court issues a writ of certiorari, or order to the lower court instructing them to send the case files to the Supreme Court.A motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (Latin: in the form of a pauper) is notice to the court that the petitioner has limited funds and is asking the justices to use their discretion to reduce the financial demands on the party by waiving docketing fees, requiring fewer copies of briefs, etc.For more information, see Related Questions and Related Links, below.
What is the fee required to file an appeal with US Supreme Court?
Under Rule 28 of the 2010 Rules of the Court, the docketing fee for US Supreme Court cases is $300 (plus additional fees for various services, if required), unless the party files motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis (as a pauper, or poor person) and the Court grants its permission. All court fees are waived for these cases.
How many signatures does the US Supreme Court need to issue a Writ of Certiorari?
The answer depends on the petitioner's filing status with the US Supreme Court.A regular petitioner who files and is paying docketing fees is instructed to submit forty copies of his or her petition to the Court. Many petitioners are granted leave to file "in forma pauperis," a discretionary decision on the part of the Court that allows indigent and low-income individuals to file without paying a docketing fee, and to submit an original with only ten copies of his or her petition, plus ten copies of a motion for leave to file in forma pauperis. Prison inmates may also file a petition for a writ of certiorari. If proceding pro se (self-representing) they are only required to provide one copy of the petition and one motion.Rule 12 of the current Rules of the Supreme Court of the United States, which went into effect on February 16, 2010, explains the requirements for submission:Rule 12. Review on Certiorari: How Sought; PartiesExcept as provided in paragraph 2 of this Rule, the peti­tioner shall file 40 copies of a petition for a writ of certiorari, prepared as required by Rule 33.1, and shall pay the Rule 38(a) docket fee.A petitioner proceeding in forma pauperis under Rule 39 shall file an original and 10 copies of a petition for a writ of certiorari prepared as required by Rule 33.2, together with an original and 10 copies of the motion for leave to proceed in forma pauperis. A copy of the motion shall pre­cede and be attached to each copy of the petition.An in­mate confined in an institution, if proceeding in forma pau­peris and not represented by counsel, need file only an original petition and motion.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
