Best Answer

There is no specific number of cases docketed each year. The Court typically hears between 60-80 oral arguments per year, and reviews approximately another 75 or more cases on paper. The total represents a mere 1-2% of the cases submitted on appeal, due to limitations on the amount of work a nine-Justice Court can handle.

Do all cases filed with the US Supreme Court get decided?

No. Nearly 8,000 "petitions for writ of certiorari" are filed with the US Supreme Court each year. A petition is only an application requesting the Supreme Court review a case on appeal. All petitions are evaluated and considered, but only 1-2% (fewer than 150) are granted certiorari (essentially, accepted). Of these, approximately half are placed on the docket for oral argument, and the rest receive a "paper review." The Court issues a full, written opinion for approximately 60-70 cases each Term.
